kickingfrog Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 I need to replace the tip top on a muskie stick. I've had no luck finding a big enough guide at the local tackle stores. So it looks like I'll need to order on-line. I've measured the part of the guide that fits over the rod tip and it measures 5mm across (3/16 in). How do I use that info to order the right size guide? It seems that the guides are listed by the size of the guide itself and the of the hole that fits over the rod tip. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 ....You'll need to know ring size in mm (5mm sounds correct) and the tube size measured I believe in 64ths of an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmichit Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Aikmens at 3010 Novar Rd. in Mississauga just west of the Hurontario / Dundas intersection. 905-277-3595 call them they will have what you need, most likely. The last time i was in, they had a full selection of high quality guides and tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky66 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 Good supply of tip tops at Hook.Line & SInker in Guelph. Got one there that fit my St.Croix to a T! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kickingfrog Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 It's an Abu Garcia Crossfire that is at least 10 years old. I've got a new one on the way. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
