i was going to ask some of you guys this before i went out an wasted money on different tips before i found the right one!! im going to be shooting mostly carp, an gar every now an then.there is mud an rock bottoms. i would use a different point for different conditions but its all mixed in. i just need one that is quick to get the fish off, i dont have to touch the fish, an it be tough! iv been using the stingaree an stingaree tournament and iv been having alot of fish get off so i was going to try something new. What would be a good one to try ?

I saw gene Davis 2 barbs do some pretty crazy chit the last 2 weekends and was converted. as far as holding fish and also holdig up to rocks they were awesome to say the least. As far as quick to get off you have to take off the whole tip but IMO an extra 2 seconds is worth it if you can hold all your fish.

Warheads are the toughest dang head I have ever seen. I had a guy tell me about them a while back and let me tell you they have the best point on them bar none for shooting into hard objects. They are tough as nails. No there not as sharp out of the pack as a muzzy is but you can shoot one for 12 hrs and it will be as sharp as it was when you took it out of the package and I can promise you that. Oh and one other thing you will not lose fish on them either.

Pentetrators are good but stingrays and sting-a-rees or whalers are the better if you dont want to get fish all over you,If your losing fish on them It's more than likely not the tip,It's your bow poundage or shooting technique,That's only opinion though, but I haven't found any other tip that you can shoot and not have to turn the tip and hold fish,I might lose a couple a night but it's like a 97% success rate from my experiences and those were because of poor shooting practices or just didn't pull back far enough snapshooting!Try all the tips you can find and figure out what works best for you,Alot people value the opinions of the majority or just anyone one here like the gospil when the truth is that they dont know anymore than the person receiving the advise so take that and make your own judgements but your better off learning for yourself I think!I do like the penetrators the best for a wire type head,those gene davis and lil stinger points hold great and are super tough in hard bottoms but you will be fishy!

the problem i have with stingarees is after a few rocks the barbs get bent or hung open an tear a huge hole in them lol, or it the fish rolls to much it spins the tip off . i got tired of this last night an cranked up my bow so it would stick them in the mud. idk ill try some different stuff an see what happens
