First rod was bowed. Second rod was also bowed. Bow was at most 1/4 inch off center on both. After consultation and review of other mfg's rods, this was unacceptable.

I think Tipton rods are the best made. I own four different Tipton rods.

First rod came with slight bow. Opticsplanet was great to work with getting a replacement. Replacement got lost by UPS. Again Opticsplanet was great to handle the UPS claim and get a replacement to me. However, the replacement was also bowed. I found some at a Bass Pro shop on a vacation that also had a slight bow in them.

This is the second Titpon Carbon Fiber cleaning rod I have purchased. In the past I have used Dewey rods exclusively. I like the Tipton rods MUCH better. The "spring" of the carbon fiber rods is a definite plus for me especially when using tighter patches and jags.

Excellent overall rod. I like the flexibility and non-abrasiveness of carbon. Handle is also very comfortable in case you need to apply some force. The only downside is a brass tip. It stains patches and seems to be vulnerable to copper solvents like KG12.

This is an excellent cleaning rod. The thing I like the most is that it is so stout, yet will flex if needed.
