I am in the process of specing out my first 2 rods that I am going to. I am building my Dad a 9' lamiglass 6-10lb 9 foot rod. I am going to build myself the same in a CTS.
I have decided to use #6 guides from the intersection point to the tip top as we will be using 8lb test line on these rods. If I am going to use #6 guides there would I use a #6 tip top? We fish a lot in the winter in New England (Sub 32 degrees). Is a #6 top going to be a real pain with icing up? I am going to use ti SiC guides if that matters. Thanks You, Jeremy Re: Tip Top Selection

Hi Jeremy,
Yes you can use a #6 tip top, but you may have problems with it icing up. You may want to use a larger loop ring so you don't have the problem of the icining up. If you need help in finding what you are looking for feel free to email me. Neal Cissel Neal's Fishing Products neal@nealsfshingtackle.com Re: Tip Top Selection
