HNST Tops?

You could just use the 10 top and leave the 12s. I built a casting rod once that the 16 top I wanted was backordered and I didnt want to wait so I put a 10 on it until I got my order. It worked fine.
IMO if leader and knots are your main concern then it would be better for them to go through one 10 than four, and you would not even be able to tell the top ring is smaller without close inspection.

 

I'm building a lightweight, acid-wrapped, chunking/bottom rod with HNSG 20-16-12-12-12-12-12 and need the 12T.

Anyone know where I can get a 12-10 HNST Top? If not what would you suggest?

I located ONE 10-10 HNST. I guess I could use 10 on the top, or go 20-16-12-12-10-10-10-10T. But was afraid of going too small with heavy PE & leaders.

Thoughts??

Thanks!

Contact Billy Vivona (Billy 40), he usually has a few JDM component on hand or just use the SINIII version of the tip.

 

if billy doesnt have them.

let me know,
i usually have some around.
the smallest they make is the 12-4.0
i have them. and bigger

 

All I have are MGST 12-12, 10-10, and HGST 10-12 (the new heavy tops with no wrap on foot).

FRom Japan I've got TMNST 10-10.5's, since it was brought up, and am waiting on 100 TLDBSG size 6's, which won't last more than 2 weeks.

 

Doh, they have the HGST (looks the same but w/o the wrap foot section) and the SiN2 version.

 

Billy,
Do you have THVSG-25H ? or do you know where I can get one ?
