My GLoomis ShakeyHead Spinning rod (SHR 822 S) top insert came out the other day.  I read it's really tough to replace just the insert, so I'm going to replace the whole tip.  Which tip should I buy?  I want quality and I want the right fit.  Tackle Warehouse listed a whole bunch of sizes for these Fuji ALCONITE Tops Black Stainless.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

As long as your replacing the tip top guide consider upgrading to a sic tip. A call to Gloomis will tell you what size to get.

Extremely helpful.  Thank you.

 

I knew there had to be some higher quality components out there for this repair.  Now, I know.

I talked to two guys.  Both didn't know if the 6-5.0 was a tube size or ring size.  I did get BFAT out of them though.  Anyone have any idea?  Would the SHR 822s be the same as the IMX or GLX?

What you have listed are all different sizes of the same tip top. The Fuji BFAT is a black top with Alconite ring. Best bang for the buck. A 6 ring size is "standard" while tube size is in 64ths of an inch sometimes converted to mm as well. My guess would be a 4 or 4.5 for an 822 but measuring is best. About 1/8 from the very end.

When on the phone with gloomis, they both said 5.0 - that has to be tube size then, right - and the 6 for ring?  Thanks for your help!

Yes 5 tube.
