All, I'd like to share with the list my favorite taper. Guess that you could say that I've become a paraholic. This one is based on Paul Young's para 15 found in the taper archives on the web site. It has been scaled to 7' 0" and 50 feet of 4 wt double taper line. 1 .066 5 .080 10 .100 15 .116 20 .133 25 .148 30 .165 35 .184 40 .201 45 .214 50 .225 55 .232 60 .240 65 .250 70 .261 75 .273 80 .289 85 .298 The ferrule is 13/64 at 42". Thanks, Roger
