For rods from 10 to 12 feet or so, our 10 foot Commando Tips make a great choice. These come

in 8, 11, and 14 grains per foot, or 80, 110 and 140 grains total, making them identical in weight

to industry standard sink tips. Again, each grain weight of our 10 foot Commando Tips comes in

three different sink rates: a Riffle, Run and Bucket. Our lightest 10 Foot Commando Tips, the 80

Grain series, comes in S2, S4 and S6 of level sink tip. These tips are good for 2-weight spey rods

up to about a 6-weight spey rod. They are optimized for switch rods, but they can be used on

spey and single hand rods as well. Our 110 Grain and 140 Grain Commando Tips come in S3 for

Riffle, S6 for Run and S9 for Bucket. The 110 Grain series is best for rods from about a 6-weight

switch to an 8-weight switch, or about a 275 grains to a 375 grain Commando Head. Our 140

Grain Commando Tips are best for heavier rods, from about a 7-weight switch to a 9- or 10-

weight spey rod, or a 375 to a 475 grain Commando Head. Again, you might notice there is some

overlap here. You could probably cast a given rod with any of our three 10 Foot Commando

Tips, but one would probably cast the best for you. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are

struggling with your cast, the solution might be to go down in tip size.
