How does a smaller tip ring make it more accurate? Highly curious with this one as I am currently experimenting with ring sizes
What I have found is that the line seems to exit the tip smoothly with a smaller ring. An oversized ring seems to allow a little "slap"
I was always a believer in using quite large snakes on the tip with a large tip ring to reduce drag, but on digging out my old Norboron thats fitted with very small fuji SiC's and having a cast there was noticable lack of "slap". I am now building a 9 weight with small Alconite "Concept" single leg guides to compare to my normal build. Hopefully I can satisfy myself one way or another which is best.
Sandy..please stick up some photos
...I love seeing how someone finishes a rod (rings/whipping colours etc).
