rod tip
Angler's bite indicator
The rod tip is the flexible end section of a fishing rod, where the line exits through the final guide.
It's the most sensitive part of the rod, transmitting vibrations when fish strike: Watch your rod tip for any movement.
Rod tips vary in action—some bend only at the very end, others flex deeper into the rod.
