Solid carbon tip Filstar

What is the FilStar dense carbon peak?

The FilStar thick carbon tip is a spare component for rod repair. Dense construction does not mean automatic compatibility with any model, so before ordering compare the exact diameters and length with the original part. The tip should be adjusted correctly to the repaired area, without forced bending, excessive sanding or visible gap in the joint.

What size does the FilStar dense carbon tip have?

Three options are available: 2.0/0.7 mm length 50 cm, 2.2/0.7 mm length 60 cm and 3.0/0.8 mm length 60 cm. Use the whole designation when comparing, because the same length does not mean the same diameter. The exact SKU also helps in reordering: 370453, 370474 or 370454 according to the size selected.

How do I measure the required solid carbon tip FilStar?

Measure the original component at the appropriate contact points with an accurate measuring instrument and record both diameters as well as the required length. Do not compare only visually, because a difference of several tenths of a millimeter can change the fit. If breakage interferes with reliable measurement, use the technical data of the fishing rod or seek professional evaluation of the repaired section.

What to check when obtaining a solid carbon top FilStar?

Examine the surface along the entire length and check for cracks, stratification, curvature or injured edges. Compare the size designation and SKU with the ordered variant. Do not mount the part if there is any visible damage or if dry fit indicates a mismatch. The carbon must be handled and fixed carefully, without side pressure and twisting.

Can the FilStar dense carbon tip shorten?

The final length depends on the particular repair, but any change must be pre-measured and executed with suitable carbon fiber tools. Improper cutting can injure the fishing lines or leave an uneven end. Do not shorten the part only at the estimated cost. If you have no experience with fishing rod repair, assign the measurement, processing and fixing to a service station.

How do I protect the FilStar dense carbon tip before use?

Keep it in a hard tube or other straight protective packaging that prevents bending and impact. Keep the edges from breaking off and do not put heavy equipment on it. Keep the part dry and away from strong heat. Before repairing itself, clean the contact area and check again the straightness, dimensions and integrity of the carbon surface.
