Straight tiptops.

[DGC]

I have what I believe is a scruffy Montague trade rod. 9’ 6” 3/2

Both tiptops are straight / horizontal. This will obviously kink the line at the rod tip.

Would it have been fished like this? There is no sign that they have ever been angled and then straightened.



Thanks; I will post more in the Montague section later, but am initially stumped by the tiptops!

bend them to 45 degrees, very slowly and careful

Thank you. Did not snap!
