I did not use any break away tips on my last trip. I hit every fish solid. With the double flooper they hooked up pretty good. I used to be dead set on slip tips. I was using AB biller tips on Riffe guns. I liked the AB biller design, I like the Riffe Ice pick better but its is pretty expensive and I use mine when I am going for blue water stuff. It runs straight. But when I am in the rocks I seem to somehow hit one at some point or another. This would bend it just enough so that combined with the loosness of the tip it would throw off my shot (I think) . I have had shots dead on and missed because of what I suspect to be a loose or slightly bent slip tip. I am going to try only double floopers on this next trip and see if I get a super high hit ratio again.
