I have an older Quantum flippin rod that I need to replace the rod tip as the insert fell out
Anybody have one that they can sell me?
Looks to be a little larger than micro guides
Let me know if you have

Check out mudhole.com, they have a few videos on how to size tip tops correctly and you can buy directly from them. The tip tops only cost a few bucks. If we were closer I’d say drop it off but I’m about 3.5hrs away.
to measure it accurately, use a pair of calipers and measure the tip of the rod in 64ths of an inch. Then measure the outside diameter of the insert on the guide closest to the tip in mm.
As an example, a 5/5.5 tip top would be 5/64ths of an inch tube size and 5.5mm ring size.

Go to Acadamy, Cabela's or Bass Pro. They sell just the tips or a kit that has 3 different sizes and it includes the glue.
Another vote for Mudhole. You can even buy their tip top sizing guide and take all the guesswork out of this task. While your at it order some tip top adhesive, also. Both are cheap and will last the rest of your fishing days.

Thanks guys a bunch of great ideas but I know every rod shop in the world. I just don't want to spend $20 for parts and another $7 or $8 to ship it.
Looking for a simple 1 rod tip in the mid micro range , just one. Was hoping someone may have one laying around instead of spending a bunch for 1 rod tip for a rod that I don't use all that much.
I've got a lot of Kigan 5.5 ring tips in black. I'd be more than happy to send you one but without getting an accurate size on that tube there's no way to tell if it's going to be a good fit. The pic next to the ruler doesn't help. Could be a 2.2 could be a 2.8. PM me a measurement of the rod tip in mm and your address and I'll send you one if you don't care that it'll be black. I'll even put some tip glue shavings in it so all you have to do is heat it up and stick it on.
Sent you a PM, just send me the bad tip
