Rod tips ?

[B B]

When cleaning my 4 cork handles i put the tips to one side and forgot one of them is a 3/25 tip the other 3 are 3lb looking at the tips I can’t tell them apart 🙄without going to the expense of buying a micrometer gauge any other ideas. ?

You could tie 4 identical leads onto the end of the tips, whichever flexed least is the 3 1/4lb 👍in theory anyway 😂

You keep 4 rods in your rod bag...? 

Don't think I've ever owned 4 rods at once.

Mark the tips to go with the bottom half with permanent marker dots once you have matched them back up 

you should always keep the tip and butt sections as a pair

I did mark the tips but after 15+ years  of heavy use they kinda faded
