Tippet rings are just what they sound like, little rings
between the leader and tippet. They're a neat innovation
and they came up in the discussion of furled leaders
because they're practically the only thing I like about
the furled leaders I bought recently.

    ... Tippet rings add some weight, but it's nominal, and any leader that floats poperly will float a tippet ring. ... Mono furled leaders can be made to float, but they still have some of the same characteristics that a regular mono leader does. ...
