    Tiptop replacement

    Rod builders, question for ya, need to replace a tiptop on a rod that is wrapped with microguides. I know the guides are Fuji, which tiptop would be a good replacement. Pretty sure the rings are alconite, but its been several years since I had it built. Have a couple in mind and only diference in the two is where the support is welding to the guide.

    Any suggtions would be appreciated.

    Thanks SM, Im taking a wild guess but getting the SIC ring versus the Alconite ring would not make any noticeable difference esp for just for the tiptop, is that correct?

    I wouldn't hesitate to put the Alconite ring tip top on there.

    You are correct in your thinking.

    Agree, the SIC is overkill.

    Thanks guys, placed my order with Get Bit yesterday morn, shipped yesterday afternoon, should arrive on Monday. Along with quick shipping since the tip top is only 2.65, they are not charging me the full 3.95 for shipping, will refund me the difference of actual shipping and the 3.95.
