Sizing rod tips..
I'm trying to replace the tip on my baitcaster and unfortunately my local
tackle shop didn't have any tips in stock. I checked out Sports Authority and they had the tips but I didn't know what size to get. I spoke to the person running the fishing section and asked that I bring my rod in. He gave me the size he thought was right but unfortunately, it wasn't. I can fit the previous tip into the hole of the new tip. So, back to Sports Authority tomorrow... So is there a way to tell? Is it just an eyeball game? Should I just order the 3-pack from Fuji and hope that I get the size I need? Christopher |

Take the old tip with you or find a finish nail close to the same size to use as a go by. Doc

I did have a guy from Galyan's actually open packages to get me the right fit, but I don't think too many stores would do this. A caliper would probably do the job. A guy on a forum said there are rod tip gauges, but I never saw one in a store or catalog. But they're not very expensive and I bought four different sizes which should cover me pretty well. |

You can get a rod tip gauge from any of the rod building
supply companies that have been mentioned in this thread. You can also get the tip tops from them. We use customtackle.com ask for Bob McKamey or Scott Able -- Dave Norton The RodMaker Millennium Custom Rods "Marty" wrote in message ... "Christopher P. Cericola" wrote in message groups.com...

You could also use a drill index to size the blank, take the drill from
that hole with you and try it inside of the tip, no? -- Steve "Illinois Fisherman" wrote in message m... Go to a hardware store with the rod.

"Doc (The Tin Boat King)" wrote in message ... Poke a hole with the nail G. Doc That's pretty much what I did..I took the old tip and poked it into the package. 6 matched up pretty well, 6.5 looked close too so I bought both..gotta return the 6.5 The glue is setting..the guy there recommended I tie a thread around it and glue that down for extra support. I'll see how it handles. Thanks again. Christopher |

I have never lost a tip, nor ever had to replace one.

I go to a web site that sells rod blanks and find the blank that exactly
matches the rod that needs a tip. I just did this with an Allstar Rod. I went to the Allstart web site and found my blank (7' Carolina Rig MH Baistcaster). The chart will tell you what size tip to buy. If you can't find the OEM, try MUDHOLE or Custom Tackle Supply. Cabelas also has charts. "Christopher P. Cericola" wrote in message groups.com...
