I'd like to try the chrome Microwave guides on my next pair of walleye/bass rods. The guides have size 5 rings but I can't find a tiptop with the same size. I could do a size 6 ring but that looks big compared to the guides so I don't like that. Tube size is 4.0 for a St Croix 3S70MF2. What do you all typically use?

John,
Several choices: [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] [www.mudhole.com] `You can pick and choose from the list above. Notice that some are size 5 ring with 4 tube, Different ring types, different inserts. Some are size 4.5 ring with size 4 tube. By the way, nothing at all wrong with using a size 6 tip with size 5 runners. Lots of folks run larger tip rings than the runners for many different reasons. It is your choice.

I just built one using American Tackle TTRLLT 5 tube with a 6 ring. As Roger said it doesn't look out of place at all. Re: What tip for MW guides

As Roger and Ken have said the matching tip top for the MicroWave system is the (ring/color) rllt5-(tube) _______________________________ God Bless, Don Morse 800-516-1750 ext. 1207 / don@americantackle.us Rod Building..... It's What We Do. Re: What tip for MW guides

The recommended tip top for the microwaves is the American tackle ring lock tip top, the first of Roger's links.

Ah, thanks for the direction guys. I haven't used AmTack guides and didn't know how Light and Medium were different. I thought maybe light was for panfish/trout/fly type of rods. It would have been helpful if the description on the MW guide page (at mudhole) specified the recommended tiptop. I appreciate those who took time to answer such a trivial question.
