But without opening the package which I'm pretty sure they'd frown on..how
do I compare?

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.
