perchjerker 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2011 The first thing you need to do is to remove the old tip by heating it and pulling it off the rod. Next, you need to clean out any old glue that is still in the tube of the tip, or, clean off any residual glue that is still on the rod tip. You can then determine the tube diameter of the tip top by one of two means: 1) Measure the outside diameter of the rod tip using calipers or a micrometer; or, 2) By measuring the inside diameter of the tube using metal drill bits that measure in 64ths of an inch, as all rod tips and tip tops, are measured in 64ths. You must then decide on loop size you want. I would next get on the internet and see who in Spain handles rod building components; and then broaden your search as needed. Good Luck. perchjerker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would next get on the internet and see who in Spain handles rod building components; and then broaden your search as needed..." I need for example..."look for Pacific Bay or Fuji" or "i know an excellent tip guides called XXX" I don´t know who made the guides for Sage, i have 2 tip guides but they are a shit, i need a big hard loop tip guide. Thanks again!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
