This is a high quality slip tip made of steel and then heat treated to make it super hard and tough. It has been electro polished to make it nice and shiny. It has been CNC machined to exceptionally tight tolerances so it will not wiggle and throw off your shot like cheaper tips do. The slip tip is designed to fit snugly around the injector rod tip so you can shoot with confidence. It is also great for protecting your line from sharp teeth and rough rocks. This slip tip is a must have for any fisherman who wants to increase their catch rate and protect their gear.
