im looking for a cheap slip tip

deckhandmike · 04-22-2010, 03:28 PM

Cheapest quality slip tip would be these http://easpearguns.netfirms.com/. Anything cheaper and you take your chances.

ralphthehalibut · 04-22-2010, 03:29 PM

how cheap is cheap?

Sometimes you gotta pony up the dough.

I agree the riffe ones are overpriced, mori and kitto make tips that are well worth the money.

JBL is coming out with a nice spectra one for about 88 bucks too this year....

I agree, Plamen makes a great slip-tip, never had a need to try another.

thanks for all the info this is more in my price range

i just cant justify paying 96 dollars for a slip tip

deckhandmike · 04-22-2010, 04:44 PM

You'll get more than a 96$ value out of it too. It's not cheaper becuase it's inferior, it's just a good deal.

You pay for what you get IMO, it just takes one good fish to repay itself!

deckhandmike · 04-22-2010, 07:47 PM

The plamen is a much better tip than the riffe and it's 70$.

Yes.

Although I like most everything Riffe does, the slip-tip is definitely not one of them. Much better choice is the Mori slip tip as accuracy with the Riffe slip-tip is very poor. I tested it in a pool after getting quite a few misses on King Mackerel and found out that the shape of the tip vectors the spear shaft all over the place. On the other hand the Mori slip-tip is even more accurate than a single flopper setup.

Mori and kitto make some great shit.
Thanks for posting up those 70 dollar tips. I will definitely be looking into those.
