I've been gettin' schooled in bamboo lately, tryin' to find out exactly what
happened to the Orvis rod I received. One thing that the Orvis folks and
several rod trader/dealers couldn't understand or fathom was that this rod
came originally with one tip.

I was given a reason for the extra tip and just wanted to find out if other
folks knew this reason as well.

So, what is the reason for the extra tip?
