This tip first conceived in a CNC machine shop in Virginia in 2006 is a reiteration of an original Steve Alexander design. It's the result of nearly 9 years of refinement in the development of the most reliable well-made tip to land prized blue water gamefish. Apparent features are the construction; 17-4Ph Heat treaded to H900 hardness stainless steel. Each of the male adapter is mated to the tip itself to ensure a perfect vibration free connection. The shape of the male connection has the principal feature of the toggling effect" of the upper part of the tip and then the transversal repositioning of the tip once it penetrates the fish. Each tip has 5/16" x 24 threads with a slide ring for 5/16" shafts. Unique Toggler effect to deploy every time transversally into the fish without the risk of bending the tip or adapter. The breakaway portion of the tip is 4.5" (11.4cm) in length. Tips are available with a Spectra cable providing a 900 lbs. (408 kg) tensile strength. Tips are proudly made in the made U.S.A.
