    Rod Tips

    I need some rod tips, about 6. I have bought the ones at BP, walmart, etc. they are to big. Does anyone have some small ones that would fit BP Qualifier and Extreme rods. They are great rods but lose the tips alot. Thanks

    if you want a good fit, you have to buy then with the right tube size

    A digital caliper or a micrometer. They also make a "tip gauge" that you stick the tip into the holes to find the matching size. By the way, the tube on a tip are measured in 1/64's of an inch, so a .076 tip fits a size 5 tube.

    P.S. You can get an inexpensive digital caliper at Harbor Freight, etc. for around $10 or so. They are handy for a lot of uses.

    Tip gauge is only about 5 bucks

    well if you look at this chart from mudhole just zoom in on the chart
    http://www.mudhole.com/Shop-Ou...Chart

    it says that a size 5 is a .078 like stated above the .093 is a size 6
    I would say you are looking at a size 5.5 but I no expert
