Fuji Ti Size 6 Tip 8 Tube?
Posted by: Dennis Hamilton (172.56.11.---)

Unless I dont know where to look I am unable to find a Fuji titanium size 6 tip for the larger tube size of 8. I was trying to go out of my comfort zone and go with tkbsg 6 runners on a 9' FSC but the tip is a tube 8 and I cannot find anything to match. I have always stayed with the tip the same as runners but it doesn't seem to be an option. Should I go with a 8 ring size for tip if not possible to find and keep the size 6 belly guides, or go with size 8 runners to match the tip? Any disadvantages to having a larger tip ring than the runners? Thank You

I have faced the same dilemma and have had no problems with the next size up. Sometimes it's actually an advantage with heavy leaders. TMNST probably.

Thank you for the link. I was told that they are more overseas options but have never had to source one out. I didn't like the idea of a larger tip and wanted to try some ldb guides. Thanks again
