Titanium is used in rod building for two reasons — it is light, so a full train adds little to the tip, and it resists the grooving that braided line eventually wears into softer ring materials. On rods that live on PE braid, that groove shreds a leader long before anything visibly breaks. The seat is American Tackle's patented Ring Lock (US Patent D627,032), a pressure-fit ring in an enlarged glue reservoir with increased contact area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium ring — light, and resistant to grooving from braided line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing Lock pressure-fit ring seat with enlarged glue reservoir (US Patent D627,032)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix ring sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, 16 and 20 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold individually, so titanium can be used only where it earns its place\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel 64NIRLC, SKUs coded by ring size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Build With It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpend it where the line works hardest\u003c\/strong\u003e — Most wear happens at the stripper and first reduction, where line changes angle under load.
