...I don't know how many times I've read JC saying "always point the rod behind you when walking", well stupid me took a stumble in the river while holding my rod...in front of me...and I snapped the tip top right off.

My question pertains to fixing this...or merely putting a new tip top on it. I've never built a rod so I don't know how the sizing works. I measured the diameter with a pair of calipers and it's .070" where it broke off. I looked at H&H and don't have a clue what to buy necause everything is 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5...etc. Can anybody give me some input on how this sizing works and recommend what I can do, if anything?

The rod is a 4 piece Redington Crosswater, cheap enough and I do have my spare that I'm using in the meantime, but now I don't have a spare and want this one repaired for the next time I decide to do something stupid.

Thanks!
