Curious as to your thoughts or preferences on flopper tips vs. slip tips.
I've been shooting a slip tip for about a year and recently changed to a double flopper because of some loss issues. I shoot a Riffe Euro 110 with two 5/8" bands. My main gripe on the slip tip was the reloading time. I found a thick rubber band to hold the tip on the shaft, but sometimes I think it is loosens up because when I shoot some fish it just tears through them as if sideways. This leaves some fish with missing portions of their backs and me hungry . Either way, I've only shot a few fish so far with the double flopper tip but noticed my aim is a little different. I think the double flopper is a tad bit heavier, but haven't weighed it.
Most of my target species are sea bass. Calico's and Sand Bass in So Cal and hopefully some White Sea bass this spring .
Halibut are also on the menu for me, and one day I hope to slam a YT.
Any suggestions from you long time spearos would be appreciated.
Thanks!
