Somebody brought me two rods to place tip tops on and he wants as close to the original as possible.
They belonged to his late father. He removed original tops so what would be most likely for the following: G LOOMIS MBR844C 7ft heavy. IMX Gray blank. Running guides are black frame. and an ALL STAR Titanium AST846C. This looks like the running guides are single foot titanium with the ring titanium too. Thanks Re: TIP TOP Question Loomis and All Star

The G Loomis should be a Fuji Alconite w Black Chrome frame. Measure the ring on the running guides and match the tip ... should be a 6mm.
The All Star should be a Pacific Bay TiCH Zirconia w TiCH plated frame. Again, measure the ring on the running guides and match the tip ... should be a 6mm as well. Re: TIP TOP Question Loomis and All Star

My older Loomis rods have Pac Bay guides and Pac Bay or Wiebe reelseats and grips. I think Fuji came on around the time of the sale to Shimano. Will look at some guides I pulled off a broken rod a month or so ago, pretty sure they weren't stamped Fuji. Re: TIP TOP Question Loomis and All Star

Spenser, thanks, i got them sorted out.
A BFAT 6(5.0) for the Loomis and a LCPCT 7(5.5) for the All Star did it. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
