Vespe Slippery Tips

 PTFE
(polytetrafluoroethylene)
has the lowest
coefficient of friction
of any known
solid material at 0.04µk
which is similar to that
of sliding blocks of
 wet ice.

Elastic,
especially high grade
latex formulations
have a very high
surface resistance

So to achieve a balance
a high quality PTFE bush
must be used as the elastic leaves the pole tip,
this used in conjunction
with a water based
elastic  lubricant
will give smooth
 judder free movement 
of the elastic 
while the fish is being retrieved.

The unique 180°
front end radius of

Vespe SLIPPERY TIPS
is especially
useful with
big fish that dive for
cover, under 
your pole tip.

Tips should be
a tight "push fit"
onto the
pre-cut pole section.
