Snake Brand® Classic Tip Top | Chrome & Black Nickel
The Snake Brand® Classic Tip Top is the trusted finishing piece for custom fly rod builds—precision-crafted with traditional teardrop geometry that rod builders have relied on for decades. Available in Bright Chrome and Black Nickel finishes, with Standard (.210) and Large (.310) loop sizes across a full range from 3.5 to 7.0.
The polished interior ring ensures smooth, low-friction line flow on every cast. The precision-ground tube delivers a secure, consistent fit on your blank—no slop, no gaps. Whether you're finishing a delicate 3-weight dry fly rod or a powerful 8-weight streamer stick, the Classic Tip Top delivers the performance and aesthetics that professional builders demand.
