I'm having some rods made with Kigan rings and was wondering about ‘anti frap' tips . Firstly , is this something Kigan do ? Secondly , is there a real benefit to having these fitted or are they just a gimmick , thanks ?

I've no idea about Kigans but I have Fugi antifrap tips on a couple of sets of rods and would definitely recommend having them.

Thanks for the replies. What is the difference in appearance between the two, thanks?

With the older style the two supporting arms form a bridge which goes over the ferrule ( like specs on a nose )
Whereas anti frap, the supporting arms insert into the side or underneath the ferrule
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
