Owner SSW Cutting Point
Owner SSW Cutting Point is prized for an aggressively sharp, chemically honed tip that penetrates quickly — a real technical advantage when pairing with short tubes or hard liners. Compared to other entries, Owner prioritizes edge retention and fast hookups, which can reduce lost fish on fast-striking species; this performance can command a modest premium but pays off in hook-up rate. For tiers needing surgical sharpness on single or long-shank tube setups, the SSW is a top contender.
