Isotope help please!

I only add this as an idea, although it didn't actually work for me as I like to keep my rods very low and I couldn't see them.

Uses two Enterprise Night Light holders and an Enterprise isotope - so you can try this without much effort and won't damage the rod, and remove if (like me) it dodsn't give you the viewing angle you want.

Not had any problems with mine, though I used to get occasional wraps with the Enterprise ones. In the past I did modify a pair of Fox rods using shrink tube. Took tip ring off, then sleeved with white shrink tube before fitting the isotope using clear shrink tube. Definitely not as visible as the Temu ones I now use.

You can buy 4:1 shrink tube nowadays which should comfortably go over the tip rings if they ain’t huge and still shrink down to the right size. It could save you a job of removing them if you do any more in the future
