Tip question

Another novice question from me...

I’m just finishing a 7’6” rainshadow spinning rod. I’m using Fuji BKLAG -H 06L for runners. The vendor I bought the components recommended a BFAT 6 for a tip. The runners sit a bit higher off the rod then the tip. Is this ok or should I have gotten a different tip a with similar height off the rod?

Thanks in advance!

Cutter

Cutter,
It will be a great tip. Not a bad idea to have the tip ring close to the blank.

Good luck

No problem. Misalignment of guides is not the issue many think it is.
