tip top for glow stick

I had a neighbor bring me a glow stick to replace the tiptop on. It is a size 12 solid steel boat type. Similar to the Mildrum style tops. Since it is Berkley, I am sure that it is not a Mildrum. My question is will the Mildrums groove? I have access to a good number of these tips at an awesome price. He had problems with the stock one grooving and thus the reason for replacement.

Thanks,
Tom

If it is simply chrome over hard steel, it may groove over time. If it is a carboloy tiptop (dark grey color) then it will be almost "groove proof."
