Review on πŸ₯Ύ High-Quality Oldhill 6-Pack Replacement Rubber Tips (Extended Length) - Perfectly Fits Majority of Hiking Sticks, Trekking Poles, and Walking Canes by Issac Burnett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Advertised as soft rubber but rock hard and "glides "

I've just tried other baits and they were so hard my rods wouldn't stay in place when I applied the pressure you'd expect from a trip. So I looked for soft rubber tips. These Oldhill springs were advertised as soft rubber springs, but they are just as hard as my other useless springs. Also, they are very noisy. Aside from not staying in place, hard rubber doesn't have much resilience either and doesn't "stick" to a stick any better than it does to smooth rocks. Each time they come off the pole (usually in the mud) they come off even easier the next time. I still have some old Black Diamond tips that are worn out but still hold up better (and are quieter) than these so-called "soft" tips. "Rubber tips. Unfortunately, the Black Diamond product is hard to find (and the price is astronomical, too). However, I'd happily trade in all my rubber tips for a pair of real ones.

Pros

Cons
