Drifter101,

I thought long and hard about whether to get the sliding rings or an actual real seat. I don't remember now what convinced me to get the seat model, possibly the idea that some folks put tape on the rings to keep them from sliding. Is that a problem for you?


Ive never had them slide, not even once....going on at least 5 years now


Only once had my slide rings come loose. They were loose to begin with and I didn't check them. Kind of sinking feeling when your reels falls off. Glad it wasn't in the river. I am always checking them and haven't had a problem since. Once they're cinched up, they seem to stay just fine.
