I ordered the pliers from amazon. They were maybe $10 shipped. They work well. Occasionally I will shoot a ring across the room, but not a big deal to me. I forget where I ordered the stainless rings, but I just searched until I found a place that would sell less than $100 worth. Some hardware stores do carry them, but I didn't find any near me. The ones I have now are about 1/2" opening (3/4" max width), 15 gauge. I would like to try some smaller ones for smaller eels, but they are hard to find with sharp points. The 1/2" are perfect for good sized eels. I originally bought a bag of galvanized off amazon. They work fine, but stainless wins out for the few cents more they cost.

No, no, no. we’re 30… 30, three zero.
