Howdy Jim and Ted , Thank you for your Help . I am pretty confident that going with the 0206 Garnet will be as close as I will get to match the blank and the guide wraps for the repair that I am doing for the Gentleman . I will use the Nylon with NO CP on a test wrap and see how it turns out and go from there . Again Thank you all for your Help . Heath

Howdy Roger , Thanks for your advice . I would pick up two or three colors of Thread if I had someplace closer then 3 hours from me . I was hoping to find the Color as close to the actual color as possible so I could order it just once instead of having a bunch of off colors laying around for who knows how long lol. Heath

Howdy all , I just got given to me a Heddon Mark Brute #6272 5'10" Heavy action rod in near new condition . The only thing wrong with it is it is missing the tip top. My question is this does any body know what guides and tip top would have been orginally used on this rod ? All the other guides have no inserts ,But I would like to replace the tip-top with as near original as possible .
