Save everybody the hassle 🙄

I hate the tips that have wire support on the back side of the ferrules -- It serves to hook and abraid the line(design flaw). Have wrapped a few dozen rods over the years, and never had a mismatched tip. Most stores will match test it out before they sell it to you, and often find the rod spline and fasten it on for free to prevent the wrapper from messing up. Mud Hole has a pretty good selection, but usual at full list prices. Looks like an expensive Pheonix blank. Blank # ? Show it off when you get it finished.
