No American Tackle Pentalite Tip Tops??

Was putting together an AT Pentalite guide build and noticed there aren't any Pentalite tip top options.
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place, but couldn't find anything on their website either. Have never used these and looking forward to trying them but just curious if anyone can shed light on why this is and if they are planned for the future. If so, I'll skip the tip top wraps for an easier swap when they become available. Thanks Re: No American Tackle Pentalite Tip Tops??

Shoot them an email and ask. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to help.

For later reference, I called AT and they said the titanium frames aren't rigged enough to make for satisfactory tip tops, which is the only frame option for the pentalite ring. Doesn't play well with such a thin ring when beat around I suppose.
They recommended the nanolite ring with the 'TiON' coated frame. Represents what they feel is a better balance of durability and performance for the more rugged demands of a tip top. Probably a good choice for me anyway even if they offered the titanium tip top; if I had a dollar for every time I snagged a tip top on something I'd have a lot more tackle.

Fuji and SeaGuide are the only ones I am aware of offering titanium tip-tops, and then only the frame is titanium / the tube is stainless steel with the two materials welded in some fashion. Fuji offers the MN and KG (Arowana) tip-top in titanium in both SiC and Torzite Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
