Troubleshooting

Tip connection feels loose

Ensure the loop-to-loop connection is fully seated and snug. Avoid excessive force. Check for any debris in the loops.

Verify you are using the correct line weight for your rod. Ensure the leader is not too heavy or stiff for the chosen tip. Check for any damage to the line or tip.
