not a bad solution, honestly. i'm actually not sure why but using a replacement Hytrel ring was seemingly more difficult to get right than the fishing wire. I'm annoyed that i spent like 20 dollars and waited 3 weeks for the damn thing to show up from china and then immediately wrecked it. if I could find a source of replacement rings that was cheaper and could get to me in under two weeks, i'd be tempted to buy a bunch just to try and get this thing replaced with the real deal, but that doesn't seem to be the case, so fishing line will have to do for now
