RIO Skagit MOW Tips
These tips allow anglers using Skagit lines to cover every likely fishing situation and conditions encountered, and are the absolute ultimate in sinking tip versatility. All InTouch MOW tips are built on RIO’s ConnectCore for ultra-low stretch performance.
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, allowing for easy identification of function.

FAQ
What is the difference between Extra Heavy and Heavy MOW Tips?
The Extra Heavy MOW Tips use T-17 sinking material with a sink rate of nearly 10 inches per second, making them faster and deeper than the Heavy version. The Heavy MOW Tips use T-14 with a sink rate of 9 inches per second. Both have floating sections for identification, with Extra Heavy having a gray float and Heavy having a light blue float.
Are these tips compatible with all Skagit lines?
These tips are designed for Skagit lines of 675 grains and above. They are not recommended for lighter Skagit lines due to the weight and sinking performance.
How can I tell if a tip is floating or fully sinking?
The floating section is colored gray for Extra Heavy and light blue for Heavy. If the tip is fully sinking, the section will be dark gray. This color distinction makes it easy to identify the function at a glance.

Used these with a 675 grain Skagit line during deep water fishing. The extra heavy tip sank quickly and stayed stable. The dark gray sinking section was easy to spot in the water. Great performance in heavy cover and deep structure.
Christian Underwood –
Fished in varying depths and found the sink rate consistent. The light blue float on the heavy version helped me adjust quickly. Works well with my current setup and feels durable.
Charles Newman –
The sinking performance is excellent, especially in deeper water. The color coding helps identify the tip type without looking at the line. Slightly heavier than expected, but worth it for the depth control.
Adam Wilson –
Perfect for deep water scenarios. The tip stays on the bottom without dragging. The gray and dark gray sections are clearly visible, making it easy to switch between floating and sinking modes.
