What exactly is a nibble tip rod? A rod with a very fine, whippy tip? What are its advantages, easy to detect bites or does its action help hook the fish, especially fish that are timid biters (I have no idea what whiting are like)? Thanks in advance.
Jim
A normal rod, with an ultra fine sensitive removable tip section. Because that section has absolutely zero power in it even the faintest of bites are transmitted through it.
If all you want is a cheapy spare for the non fishers yepi just get any cheapy you find. JW should still have cheapies, Shimano have released budget nibble tips in the past, and if you want a cheaper almost as good as the impact nxt JW have the Rovex specialist sensor tip (retail around $65 but can be found under $50 on a sale)
Thanks Cobby. This is the one you were talking about?

Seems it's really between that and the Silstar. $50 is about bang on for what I want to outlay for these.
Cheers

Don't doubt it Dennis. I've heard of them before and will look into them next time I need some rod's for myself.
These are cheapies to have spare rigged up or for guests on the boat.
