Have a float rod with a kinda bulky tip guide on it thinking to change it to a fly loop instead ... When pitching flipping on small streams get a loop around the tip top guide ... Think a fly loop might tangle less ... Any advice appreciated

Changing a tip-top is relatively straightforward. In the interests of a timely completion, I am deferring to Youtube to provide the instruction if you wish to "tackle" this on your own. Both Bennetts in Smiths Falls and Paddletales in Winchester can change the tip-top for you. All of that said, one of the reasons for the seemingly over sized tip-top on many float rods is to limit ice build-up when steelheading in cold weather. If this isn't a concern, then by all means make the change to better perform for your fishing style.

Hope this helps,

Thx for the heads up Paul .... Never considered guides freezing up great point ...
