I couldn't get what I really wanted due to out of stock. I just wanted a tip for the pole I had that the top half broke. Normal wear. But, since that part was out of stock, and if it was in stock, you wanted over $30 for shipping. So, I just bought a new pole and got free shipping. I still need the top half of my Sam's Super Sensitive I M6 Geaphite 10 ft jig pole. SHSS102. So I have a few pole now, and a half new but used pole. I am very satisfied with the sensitivity and action of this pole, but I don't get how a 4lb bass could break it.
