Ring Materials Advanced Ceramics

Nanolite Ring

The strength of our NanoLite ring allows elimination of material which results in reduced weight without sacrificing strength. Hardness and low coefficient of friction means these rings will easily handle all of today’s modern braids and super lines.

Duralite Ring

A new and improved, proprietary high grade Aluminum Oxide based ring material allows for the reduction of material volume meaning lighter weight and higher compression strength. Economical and highly durable, these rings are popular with rod manufacturers.
