Yes, you can use a MOW tip in conjunction with heads manufactured by brands other than RIO. MOW is simply a series of sink tips available in differing densities(just like any other sink tip) but with different lengths of level floating line integrated so that if you want a shorter tip (example a 7.5 ft tip) there will be 4.5ft of level floating line integrated so that all the tips equal 12 ft in length. This makes it easier to cast a short tip without blowing your anchor or having some of the "hinging" effects and additional knots and loops associated with adding on cheaters. Essentially it is just a sink tip with fancy loops built in. They do work great, just a bit on the pricey side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulmo Posted May 1, 2012 Author Share Posted May 1, 2012 thanks man, its the grain weight of your head that would be the focal point, eh? start there and match your running line and tips to match i guess, really no reason a guy couldnt have SA running line, an Airflo Skagit and Rio mow tips - of course, that may b following the rabbit hole a little deep...
