The Extra Heavy MOW Tips are the heaviest of the MOW series; built with T-17 for the sinking section and with a sink rate of nearly 10″ per second, it really gets down when depth is needed. Each of the tips either has a gray floating section, or if full sinking are a dark gray color, for easy identification. These tips are ideal on the heavier Skagit lines of 675 grains and more.
The Heavy MOW Tips feature T-14, with a sink rate of 9″ per second, for the sinking material. Each of these tips has either a light blue floating section or a dark gray sinking section for easy identification.

Hannah Duncan –
Used the Extra Heavy MOW tip with my 675 grain Skagit line during a deep-water fishing trip. It sank quickly and stayed stable, which helped me catch several trout in deeper areas. The gray floating section made it easy to see when it was near the surface.
John Wilson –
Switched from a standard sink tip to the Heavy MOW version. The 9-inch per second sink rate is perfect for mid-depth fishing. The light blue float section is easy to spot in the water, and the tip holds up well under pressure.
Grace Butler –
Fished in a cold, clear lake with varying depths. The sinking performance of the Extra Heavy tip was reliable and consistent. It reached the bottom quickly and stayed put, which improved my success rate.
