Any advice on what tip top to use with Pac Bay Minima running guides in Black/TiGold ? Seems they forgot to make something to match .
As always , TIA . Ron Re: Pac Bay Minima

We use our special factory ordered Batson tip tops.
They have an extra hard Gold Zirconia insert Here is a link; [www.schneidersrods.com] Best wishes, Ron Schneider Schneider's Rod Shop Mountain Home, Arkansas [www.schneidersrods.com] mtnron40@yahoo.com 870-424-3381 Re: Pac Bay Minima

Look at the Fuji (SIC) BFAT series tips. I use them all the time. They don't match but they are a good tip. John Re: Pac Bay Minima

Ron,
Use one of the black TI minima tip tops. Although no gold, they look very nice and match very well. Good luck Re: Pac Bay Minima

Look at page 56 and 57 in the Pac Bay catalog:
[www.fishpacbay.com] I was referring to one of the guides found on these pages, depending on running guide size and color needs. Good luck Re: Pac Bay Minima

I've never seen a fly rod with a high brace bracket like those tip tops . Not sure I care for them . Re: Pac Bay Minima

Remember, guide sizes are measured on the inside of the FRAME opening.
So, you would need a size 06 ring in a ceramic ring top to match up with the ID of a size 05 Minima type guide. Best wishes, Ron Schneider Schneider's Rod Shop Mountain Home, Arkansas [www.schneidersrods.com] mtnron40@yahoo.com 870-424-3381 Re: Pac Bay Minima

Ron Schneider, interesting that your link shows the tiptops, but if I were to rely on the BatsonsEnterprises.com web site, I would never find them. Re: Pac Bay Minima

Thanks but those are for spinning & casting rods . I'll use something else altho I think it's crappy of them to offer the guides and no tops to match . Re: Pac Bay Minima

Ron,
Did you check the pac bay catalog on the pages that I listed. They do have nice matching guides on those pages - unless I misunderstand the guides of which you speak. Good luck Re: Pac Bay Minima

Roger , I looked but didn't see anything I wanted to use . Those were for casting / spinning rods and had the frame . Schneider may have it but that website is really hard to understand . I need pics , I'm just a farm boy ! Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/02/2018 06:56PM by ron zimmerman. Re: Pac Bay Minima

Ron,
I did not realize that you were looking for fly rod tip tops. Did you look on page 64 for the fly rod tip tops in the pac bay catalog - 2018 version? Roger Re: Pac Bay Minima
