Three years ago I built a light spinning rod with Mimima guides and tip top and use it frequently. The other day my line felt rough so I looked at the guides and the tip top was severely grooved in several places. The rod was only used with 6 lb mono not braid. The other guides were OK. I replaced it with another style. Re: Minima tip top.

We have 4 rods built with minimas all the way to the top. They have been used a great deal for going on 3 years with mono and we have had no problems so far with grooving. Re: Minima tip top.

It's not unusual to fit a ceramic tiptop on the tip if you're having a problem there. Because of the angle the line comes across the tiptop, if you're going to have anything groove or wear, it'll usually be the tiptop.

I have used Minima guides and tips with mono and braid without issue.
I prefer to use Minima guides with Fuji BFAT or FST Sic tips. Re: Minima tip top.

The Minima tiptops will eventually groove, as suggested about use a ceramic ring tip top. The other guides hold up very well, it’s only the tip top that grooves.
