Heavy Tip Tops Question
Posted by: John Lomax (---.houston.res.rr.com)

I've had a hard time finding any Fuji SIC (or acceptable substitutes) tiptops w/ tube or ring sizes over 12. I'm interested in both 12 and 16 ring tips w/ tube sizes from 11 to 14. Any suggestions? These components would be for very heavy duty tuna jigging and popping rods, 80lb test on up. The running guides I normally use are ICMNSG and have looked at HVSG's.

Thanks

PST16s are available in tubes from 10 to 14, I think. At least they used to be.

On the heavier boat rod style tops, rings only go up to about a 12 or so. Any reason for wanting a larger ring?

John,

Go to [www.jingow.com].

Fuji makes them, but the US importer does not import them . . .

IGHNST's are only available up to size 12, as per Fuji. Surprising. MNST's come in size 16 up to a size 6mm tip.
