Batson Enterprises stocks over 1200 different models of tip tops. To the
best of our knowledge no one else in the industry offers such a comprehensive
selection of tip tops. All the way from light wire fly rod tops to heavy
duty roller tops for the largest saltwater rods. At Batson Enterprises we
inspect all the tip tops that come through our doors to insure that the
tube size is correct, plating is smooth, and that the rings are mounted
correctly. If you cannot find the correct tip top for your rod at Batson
Enterprises, it most likely does not exist.

Key ALPS™ Tip Top Features:

material
• Many Alps model feature the exclusive RRD frame/ring design (see

assure a smooth, flawless finish. This proprietary process also enhances
the plating quality by improving the bond between the plating and the frame
surface.
• All versions of S-6 (SS316 stainless steel) frames have passed the
ASTM-B117 salt spray test for over 50 straight days (or 150 eight hour fishing
trips) w/o any hint of corrosion due to saltwater exposure.
• All Alps tip top ceramic rings are carefully ground on the outside
edge for perfect concentricity which enhances ceramic ring to guide frame

durable, and provides a more even gluing surface that helps prevent rings
popping out from the frame.
