Re FW FE Thomas Special Streamer Rod Taper - jan nyström
Mr Darrel and fellow rodmakers,
a little delayed but here are my measurements of my full lenght FE Thomas Streamer 9 ft. Measurements are made over varnish and from the
Hexrod calculations on the left, dimension is substracted 0.005" for varnish but in the measurements on the right (Buttend and Darrel A.
Lee) varnish is included. Measurements from the buttend is supplied to be able to compare with the measurements made by mr Darrell A. Lee
recently. It seems the two rods are very similar except for a few places.
