New Zealand rod manufacturer CTS is finally back at work full time and fulfilled my need for a new tip section for the RF Cutthroat (9ft 4wt 4pc). Initially I had to measure the diameter of the male piece at full insertion to get the right mating of the new blank tip.
I then cut off all the guides through the epoxy and on top of the feet of the guide metal and cleaned and stored the parts till receipt of the new tip ($45).
While it took 3 months to receive a new custom tip, I finally got it yesterday (it fits like a glove and matches my golden plum custom color perfectly) and laid out the parts to wrap up the new piece with the 5 original removed titanium snake guides. All done and ready to fire.
This is one of my favorite rods so it'll be very nice to have it back in rotation.
