Seems like there have been a lot of posts on Minima's lately including mine. What I have noticed is that no one seems to be using the PB model P or Mv minima top-top. Some use a Fuji or single foot minima. I would rather not use a single foot as a tip-top( just my preference). Cosmetically I would think that a Minima tip-top would look good. Like the model P with different ring sizes. Is there a weight problem with a minima tip-top that I am not aware of or am I just over thinking this one? Thanks again for all your help.

Those tops are not available in sizes smaller than a size 6 ring. For that reason many folks wind on a single foot guide or use a different type of tiptop. Functionally it would make little difference.

Don,
Good news, I just received a large order of minima rods from a sponsor on the left. Mixed in with my order was a large order of very small ring minima tips. These tips were size 3 and 4 - with 4, 4.5, and 5.0 tube sizes. I sent them back and Karen has them in stock at Bingham. I looked over the tips very carefully and they are an excellent matching guide for the minima 4 chrome guides. These are brand new guides that have just come on the market. Roger Re: Minima Tip-Top

If Pac Bay has released some new small ring Minima tips that is great, the tip they had before was pretty bulky and old school. A CFAT Alconite #6 tip works better, it is nice and compact, the ID is similar to the #4 Minima, and you have a ceramic ring where the vast majority of wear will occur. Re: Minima Tip-Top
