Quick take
Lightweight ceramic micro rod guides for repair and building, with reduced friction and sensitivity.
This FishTrip kit holds 30 small stainless steel tip guides with ceramic rings, meant for replacing a damaged tip on a light rod. Tube sizes from 1.2 to 2.0 mm suit baitcasting, ice, telescopic and boat rods, so measure your rod tip before choosing it. Smaller, lighter guides keep line friction low and let a repaired rod keep its action.
