Which tip ring

sightbob · #1 (**permalink**) 17-07-2010, 09:23 AM

I have two old fly rods that I am making into dual purpose rods,
fly/spin/bait.Looking for info on best tip rings and size to use.
The tips are both broken,
1. an 11ft3in 3pc,the tip is sitting at 2.5mm o/d
2. an 10ft6in 2pc,the tip is sitting at 2mm o/d
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks John

Fly Tip Top
Especially if you are likely to use braid or fish where abrasive silt in an issue. On the heavy side for a lighter aftma# fly rod but not dramatically so

I'd likely fit a Ceramic Insert Buttressed Tip - for the two way job - typically a Fuji BPOT - ring Hopkins and Holloway - ever helpful !

Best wishes
