I am putting new guides on a surf rod, I haven't been to successful in finding a tip for it, and I was hoping someone on the fourm could help. I am looking for a 16 ring and a 12 or 14 tube (I am going to buy one of each). I would perfer a Fuji Hardloy, but I'll take what I can get! Any sites or sponsors have 'em? Since this is my first post, I just would like to say thanks for all the information that you all share. I just re-finished a boat rod (my first) with a spiral wrap and it wouldnt have been as easy or enjoyable without this board. OK, you guys have me officially addicted! Thanks Re: I need a large tip

Fuji BPLT16-14 is widely available, should not be too difficult to find and should fit both blanks. Try one of the retail or wholessale vendore listed in the left column. Lou Re: I need a large tip

Hi Matthew, Pacific Bay has tops that will fit what you need. The item numbers are BPHT16-13.0 and BPHT16-14.0. Check with any one of our distributors and you should be able to get ahold of a couple. If you need help locating a distributor in your area e-mail me and I will direct you to one. Tom S. Brown Pacific Bay International Re: I need a large tip

If you are going to be using Braided Line (Powerpro-Spiderwire) I would suggest that you step up to a SIC Tip, because of friction and the load put on the ring. I throw allstar 1508 12'6" with powerpro and know the strain that is put on the tip when casting 8 and a bait Re: I need a large SURF tip

I'll chime in with Barry, and recommend splurging for the SIC. The SIC are much harder & stronger. The SIC have a larger flange ring protruding toward the edge of the tip-top guide's frame. This helps lift the line over the frame’s edge, and prevents it from rubbing on and cutting into the metal frame, and abraiding the line. – SURF TIP-TOPS: SILICON CARBIDE (FUJI's): BPST-20mm-12/64ths ($12) PST-16mm-14/64ths ($11) UST-12mm-18/64ths ($10) BPST-12mm-15/64ths ($6)--PAC-BAY HARDLOY (FUJI’s): BPLT-16mm-14/64ths ($4) BPLT-20mm-18/64ths ($5) HIALOY (PAC-BAY’s): BPHT-16mm-14/64ths ($3) HOLOGRAPHIC Rings (American Tackle): Titanium Nitride Coating over Zirconia Ring, with Titanium-Chrome frames (TiCh). HZTT-12mm-13/64ths ($5) [Tube sizes given above are the largest manufactured; availability depends on vendor. Prices are approximate, based mostly on Summer Moon Rod Works, sponsor.] - Cliff Hall .
