bought a couple new ozark jigging rods a few weeks back and realized a few days later that the tip was totally different, not real happy with the change over to the cheaper tips with the insert instead of the solid titanium tip , thats the reason i switched to from BnM in the first place, does anyone no why they have decided to mess up a great rod, if they dont go back to the better tip i probably wont buy anymore of them, why change a good thing?Attachment 184593
saving money, the american way
Maybe Conway can chime in and tell us why. That change stinks.
Not good Thanks Greg for the info!!
I have a good supply of the titanium ones!!!!
meatgetter are you saying that you have the rod tips or just rods. If it's just tips let me know I would be interested in a few titanium tips.Quote:

Nothing like the Golden Titanium One piece tip Midsouth Man designed....Hope they go back to it soon and see the errors of their ways.
I agree. The solid tip was one of the main reasons I bought the Ozark rods. I hope they bring them back.
I just ordered 3 of the 10ft rear reel seat poles from Grizzly with an extra tip. The poles were the old style tip as I requested but the extra tip was the new style and it will not fit the old style bottoms. Josh at Grizzly is making it right. Those guys are great to deal with.
BIG mistake on changing the tips back to the old version. It was that tip that set Ozark rods apart from the rest even if the rest soon followed. That tip was one of my biggest contributions to the fishing industry. Who knows, maybe there is another rod in the making that uses my tip design and stronger lightweight material? Oh and built right here in the natural state, not in china! Hint, hint.....
That would be interesting. Wonder when they would be on the market if someone ever did such a thing?Quote:

The tip was solid but only coated with titatium nitride would be my guess. I am looking for some new tips as mine have worn through the coating and starting to groove .
I can get some !!!!!
Wonder what the brand name will be.Quote:
