Slip tip question?

[campbellc0321]

This may be a hard question but does anyone know the weight difference between a riffe slip tip and a mori slip tip here is the hard part 9/32 size.

Why do you want to know? I am guessing that they are pretty close...

I wish I had not sold my Riffe tips years ago, because I have a sensitive electronic kitchen scale that could answer the question.

But without being precise, the difference has to be very large. The Riffe tip is 3/8" in diameter, while a Mori 9/32" tip is (surprise) just 9/32" in diameter.

If I have my math for the area of a circle right, and assuming the same length, the Riffe should be 1.77 times as heavy as the 9/32" Mori.

The Mori 9/32 tip is probably half the weight of the Icepick.

Edit: Bill beat me to it.

Edit #2: Both tips have their place in the world. For versatility, I think the Plamen Kolev tips are hard to beat.

Thanks to both of you:beer: I was thinking maybe the same thing but really was not sure.
The reason for the question is I'm going to add 4 maybe 5 inches in length to the shaft I'm using as of now and it's going to add weight. So I want to use the lighties tip possible but still want a good one. And I have a 9/32 riffe in the junk draw that has never be used.

Chris - Why are you looking to lengthen your shaft?

The Plamen Kolev tips are indeed nice, but they are 5/16" in diameter. If you want the lightest possible, then Mori is the only one offering 9/32".

BTW, have I ever met you?

Mike, why did that not sound right?;)

I like my 4" JPL Tri Cut Slip Tip for combo Hali/WSB hunts. Cheap and durable. Bills formula is pretty close with the Mori to Riffe comparison.

Yes, Chris was with us on my boat when we dove LJ the other day... He is the Hard Hat diver with the beard...

It was a joke.

A couple of days ago, he reminded me that I had met him four times and dove with him once, so I was just acting my age.
