Have only gotten to test it on big calicos so far, but the Customer Service I received from Kimera after USPS "lost" my first order was beyond disappointing (IMO based on my interactions with the Kimera team I don't believe it was actually ever sent). Took over a month to get my order and I'm located in CA where they're based out of.


Took them 3 weeks to get me a package that weighs less then an ounce. It’s certainly okay, but I think they have a lot to improve on. As I use this more I’m not as enthusiastic about this tip. I placed a perfect shot on a striped bass 34-38” fish in the 20# range from 4’ out. Fish came off. I am 99% it was a tip malfunction that cost me that fish.
