Tip Tops are super cheap if that's all your buying. Very easy to install too. Next fly rod conversion I do I will post the process. I buy all my rod building & repair stuff from The Mudhole Mud Hole — Your #1 Resource For Custom Rod Building Tools & Supplies!

Quality Tip Top feature you want to look for is one made with the frame reinforcement shaped to reduce line wrap from snagging on it on windy days.
