Wrote this under a new subject hoping that it would get more exposure. I had the same problem getting a TFST 10. This tip top is not advailable in the U.S. I called the distributer of all Fuji products in the U.S.He told me that he would try to get me one thru one of his contacts. He would call me back. One week later I recieved a call and he was unable to make a contact said he would call me again. Three weeks past no return call.Got angry and fustrated . Went on the Net. Found www.japantackle.com or you can type in Jun Sonoda in Google. This company sent me my tip in 2 weeks ,excellent service. I probably paid $3 over cost but it was worth it to me. Highly recommend them.Oh ,by the way when speaking to the distributer in the U.S. he said there was enough demand for this size he was going to stock them for U.S. distribution.It would take 3 months before they would be advailable. Marc wondering if this is true in your case too.
