As said, steel, fully welded.
Tbh i didnt even know brass was an option

i use welded mild steel nickel plated rings. ive got some quality 316 stainless steel rings coming soon. 1" and 11/4" a bit more expensive and a little heavier than mild steel but you'll not get anything better quality wise

1" heavy duty round rings. The last lot I got were from agouti. They are good strong rings.

Phil,back in my jeweller's days you would have been surprised how much of my gear owed its origins to the work-bench. My old pike rod did actually have a couple of missing eyes replaced with silver items. All my home-made purse nets were built on German/nickel silver rings turned -up and silver soldered at work. .

Nowadays I'm a bit too tight to buy proper net rings(Agouti ones are good though) and tend to scavenge piles of old horse tack and hay nets for rings or even cut links out of bits of chain.
