Old Daiwa Powermesh quiver tip

[Phil Heaton]

I’ve a pair of these old Daiwa barbel rods, they are twin tip but I’ve lost the quiver tip off one of them.
Does anyone have a spare replacement or even any thoughts on where I might get one.
The tip is 1/8” diameter x 18 3/4” long

Are these the tips with the upturned wire hoop to attach the nightlight. ?

 

[Phil Heaton]

No a simple quiver tip

Strange. I have a pair of the very same rods that have the tip I described. And that was the tip on the original ones....

 

[Phil Heaton]

I’ve had the rods from new, it’s possible I took them off. Too long really to remember

 

[Phil Heaton]

I’ve just checked the 3 whipped rings and there’s no sign of anything apart from the eye foot being whipped on

Original ones

 

[Phil Heaton]

I cannot remember them being like that. But I painted my tips fluoro yellow for better visibility on the smallish river Don, maybe I painted over where the whipping used to be.

Those wite loops to push the starlite tubing on were a real nuisance. A trap for the line on the cast.

 

[Phil Heaton]

Am I correct in thinking the tips were 3ounce carbon

 

[Roger Simmons]

I had the same problem with mine. Main thing is the small diameter of the fitting about 2.5mm i think. So i found some old quivers and rubbed them down. Nice Rods by the way,

With silicon in place was it still a problem?

Yup

 

[Neil Smart]

Yup

Problem was it was too far down tip I suppose.

Shimano did the same. It was originally a matt hayes invention in the 90’s when he would whip on a loop to take an isotope or starlight. Obviously because he was promoting shimano gear at the time, they did the same thing and manufactured quiver tips with standing loops. Dreadful idea for catching slack line particularly just after a cast and they would snap like twigs as you unknowingly tightened up to your lead or feeder.

Yes, they were on the glass and carbon tips I have for my Antares Specialist. Easily removed with some pliers.

I find the silicon tubing fitted on the Torrix to be faultless, it is positioned about an inch from the tip ring foot.
I have tried many other gizmos and this is by far the safest and easiest.It is for the Drennan mini starlight really but a larger tube slipped over the original makes it a universal fit.

That's what I did on my original one.
I don't use the quiver tops on my current two. The Avon top works well on the rivers I fish
