I've got several of them, the red colored ones for pulling cranks and the bright green for long lining. Work just fine for my purposes. You'll see lots of comments about people breaking the tips off on all different brands and they are looking for the tips, etc. BPS will replace the broken ones w/o question 99% of the time. If you don't want them, take 'em back and exchange 'em.
I bought a Trout Magnet rod, twice as a matter of fact, and the tip broke both times. No more TM rods for me.
GO BIG ORANGE !
I meant to behave, but there were just way too many other options available at the time.
