Default Swingtips

Hi

Does anyone know where I can buy a swingtip from? Mine seem to have been lost over the years.

I went to my local tackle shop the other day and asked if they still sold them only to be greeted with the odd laugh and s******.

Cheers
Simon

I bought one from Jackson's a few years back and they still do them:

Yep, Jacksons of earby is my local tackle shop. Cant speak highly enough of him, great bloke and have used him for years. Give him a bell 01282 843333 and im sure he'll talk you through his available options.
