What is the largest loop and lightest wight tip top I can get for a fly rod and where can I get it?
Thank you for your help. Jim G Re: Tip Top Size

The lightest is probably going to be a single foot guide wound onto the tip.

I believe a simple loop fly tip is most likely the lightest, but most all fly tips are very light. Re: Tip Top Size

Probably some type of REC Recoil or Pacific Bay Ti Minima.

Greater guide size is not compatible with less weight, particularly leveraged weight at the end of the rod. I would not build with a tip-top any larger than necessary to freely pass a nail knot leader connection and I would not use a tip-top larger than the smallest running guide, even if I did have to dip the tip more frequently to clear the ice.

Batson has both Light wire large loop and standard loop tip tops. Available from a number of the sponsors on the left. Re: Tip Top Size

I would say the recoil loop is the lightest as tom said Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
