When these first came onto the market they were hellishly expensive and to honest Korda felt that a loop in the end of a stiff rig (which is what they were introduced for) created a more flexible pivot point anyway.
However, you the angler demanded a Size 8 so Korda sourced one and at a far better price than the competition. More recently Korda have managed to persuade their Japanese supplier of their standard swivels to supply the same swivel with a ring on the end at a very competitive price, they now come in the dull grey finish as well, another little edge bearing in mind we have seen from our underwater filming that carp are frightened by the 'glint' of a swivel or hook on the lake bed in clear shallow water when the sun is out. Beside creating a pivot point for stiff rigs the ring swivel serves as a massive advantage to most rigs, it allows the hooklink to lay flat against the rig tube or leadcore during the cast, this dramatically reduces the risk of a tangle, it sounds far fetched but it's true.
