Hollow carbon tip Filstar

What is the FilStar hollow carbon tip used for?

The hollow carbon top FilStar is a spare part for repairing fishing rods. Before selecting, measure the damaged or original tip and compare all sizes for the name of the variant, including the length. The part should fit without forcing and without visible clearance. If the rod construction or fixation method is not clear, the rig is more secure to be made by an experienced service technician.

How do I choose the right size hollow carbon top FilStar?

Compare measurements of the existing part with the full designation of the variant, not just the first number. The series includes combinations from 4.0/1.2 mm to 6.0/1.5 mm. A small diameter difference can prevent proper fit, so measure with a suitable tool and do not rely on estimation by photo or general fishing rod pattern.

What lengths does the hollow carbon tip FilStar have?

The 4.0/1.2 mm to 5.25/1.5 mm variants are 100 cm in length, and the 5.50/1.5 mm and 6.00/1.5 mm variants are 110 cm. The length is part of the exact identification and must be matched to the repaired fishing rod. If shortening is necessary, first determine the final size and the appropriate method of carbon processing.

What to check before installing a hollow carbon top FilStar?

Examine the entire tip for cracks, crushing, stratification, or uneven end. Make a dry fit without glue and check that the contact area is even. Work carefully because the carbon fishing line should not be twisted or pressed sideways. Do not proceed with rig if the part enters too hard, remains loose or the dimensions do not match.

Can I choose a hollow carbon top FilStar only by the rod pattern?

The name of the fishing rod is not sufficient when there is no explicitly confirmed compatibility. Measure the real part and compare diameters, length and the way of connection. Even close models can use different sizes. If the old tip is broken and cannot be measured reliably, check the technical documentation of the fishing rod or seek service consultation before ordering.

How do I store the hollow carbon top FilStar before rig?

Keep the tip upright or in a hard protected tube, without pressure from other accessories. Keep it from impact, bending, high temperature and prolonged moisture. Do not place heavy items on the packaging and do not leave the edges unprotected. Before rig, clean it with a dry soft cloth and re-examine for damage obtained during transport or storage.
