Horses for courses...Matt Hayes may sell 'em but he can't use a centrepin....Dick Walker designed his own...and gave it away.

Re: Octafloat Deluxe - some questios please
Does anyone have any thoughts as to where I might purchase an appropriate set of new guides for this rod?

Re: Octafloat Deluxe - some questions please
Does anyone know what the correct diameter is for the tip eye? The rest of the guides are pretty easy to figure. Just that tip.....

Re: Octafloat Deluxe - some questions please
Buller, I will measure it tomorrow. But I have the standard version, no idea if the rings are the same. Best, Bobby

Re: Octafloat Deluxe - some questions please
Outer diameter is 7 mm, inner diameter is 2.15 mm (agate lined stand off tip ring). Tube bore should be measured on your rod. I have not sen a fitting traditional ring on the hopkins&holloway site. Perhaps you need to call them. I am quite sure Peter or someone on here can help you. I have no fitting ring in my box. Good luck, Bobby

Re: Octafloat Deluxe - some questions please
Buller I re-read your post. I measured the diameter of the eye, not the tube bore. Just to be sure there is no misunderstanding. Bobby

Re: Octafloat Deluxe - some questions please
Many thanks Bobby. It's the tube bore that I'm after if anyone can assist. Otherwise I'll have to get busy with a micrometre!
