Is there any reason to add a thread wrap at the tip top is it for looks or strength do you need it ? Re: Rod tip wrap

mostly for looks doesn't add strength does add a couple of Grains of weight the key word is grains not really noticeable or affecting the rod feel/action or power.

Tip wrap does not contribute to the integrity of the structure, and is not a requirement. The tip wrap makes the rod look "Finished". John Re: Rod tip wrap

If you don't wrap the tip, the job will always look unfinished, no amount of, "It don't matter", is going to change that." Re: Rod tip wrap

Depending on the rod, I will sometimes do a tip wrap in silver, gold, or neon orange, or neon green.
In each case, the reason for the wrap is to increase the visibility of the tip - for the times that one watches the rod tip for a bite. Obviously, this does not apply for a lot of rods and fishing technique, but for other type of rods and applications it is next to mandatory. Good luck p.s Ice fishing rods which are often used in rather dark shelter houses is one of the rods that are nearly mandatory for a bright bright tip wrap. Re: Rod tip wrap

I also like doing it as I think the epoxy added also helps prevent the tip from from moving out of place. Re: Rod tip wrap

I'm with Roger 100% here. If I do, I only wrap up to the tip and not over the tube. This eases tip replacement should it be needed. Re: Rod tip wrap

No way on earth that could matter physically, but it sticks out like a sore thumb cosmetically. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
