Many Thanks Bill , that was very good information, I've actually own three slip tips a riffe, kitto and a Alexander all rigged with ss cable but I've only used for one season. You are right on the money, my Alexander tip (the cable) was damage on my first shot last year, I wish I knew that last year. The point blank shot buckle and damage the cable.
Based on your input I should get a aim right, I am not too impressed with the ring on the Alexander or Kitto they rusted to fast, the riffe has a little more quality but I don't like the design. But like yourself the shape on the Alexander is very good.
I am trying to contact Mr. Mori perhaps with the new coupling design and the spectra line I can get the a good combination. I has not email me back yet.
Last year was the first time I've actually used a slip tip, I did accomplish my goal, land every fish I hit. But I've also miss more shots then usual.
Do you have any input on using slip tip to fish for grouper or none pelagics in general, It was little agravating having to adjust and look at tip every dive, may be if fishing for grouper I should stick with a regular shaft.
