Each trekking pole attachment is designed for the specific type of terrain that you are hiking. Some prefer no attachment and only using the carbide tip that comes on the pole. Tips are great for sleep climbs and rocky terrain. Other attachments are
- Sand-baskets: Wide tip, great for beach walking, or desert hiking.
- Mud tips: Great for marshy or muddy conditions, commonly used by hunters.
- Rubber stops (come pre-attached) Used for concrete, pavement, or flat trail walking.
