Welding a Loop in a Sinking Tip

This video shows how easy and quick it is to weld a loop in the end of RIO's InTouch "T" sinking material. Whether using T-8, T-11, T-14, T-17 or T-20, the ability to weld a loop in the ends of these level sinking tips allows anglers to quickly customize tips to the required length.
