Looking for organised storage for your sink tip collection? The OPST Tip Wallet is the professional solution for keeping your Skagit and Commando tips protected, organised, and ready for action on European rivers.
Why do you need a dedicated tip wallet?
Serious Skagit and Spey anglers carry multiple sink tips to match varying water conditions throughout the day. Without proper storage, tips tangle, get damaged, and it's impossible to quickly identify which tip you need. The OPST Tip Wallet solves these problems with purpose-built organisation that keeps your tips protected and instantly accessible when conditions change.

What can you store in the OPST Tip Wallet?
This versatile wallet accommodates all OPST tips and most other brands - OPST 10ft and 12ft sink tips for two-handed rods, OPST 7.5ft MTIP micro Skagit tips, OPST 5ft MTIP tips for single hand rods, OPST DD6 and DD8 dual density tips, OPST SHS and Commando floating tips, Airflo, Rio, and other manufacturer's tips up to 12 feet, and polyleaders and versileaders.
How should you organise your tips?
Most anglers organise by sink rate - lightest to heaviest - making it easy to grab the right tip as water depth or current speed changes. Use the staggered ID tabs to mark each tip (T8-S2, T11-S6, etc.), and insert a reference card in the front sleeve showing your complete tip inventory. This system means you can identify and swap tips in seconds, even in poor light or challenging conditions.
Why is breathable mesh important?
Storing wet sink tips in non-breathable material leads to mildew, unpleasant odours, and premature line deterioration. The OPST Tip Wallet's breathable mesh pockets allow air circulation whilst protecting tips from damage, ensuring your investment lasts season after season. Simply store tips wet after fishing - they'll dry naturally in the wallet.
