Hi,
this is what Paul gave ma a while ago. I ran it through hex rod and made
it a rod with equal rod lenghts. It is a good rod for carp, but maybe a
bit light...

Geert,
Here's the MkIV Taper ( From Richard Walkers Book );
The taper is given from apex to flat for a single strip, i.e multiply X2
to get the 'flat to flat' dimension across a section.
All dimensions being in 'christian' units of thousandths of an inch
Tip 0" .060" , i.e flat to flat dimension is .120"
6" .075"
12" .092"
18" .104"
24" .115
30" .121"
36" .122"( Yes this station does read .122"!! )
42" .136"
48" .145"
54" .154"
60" .165"
66" .175"
72" .186" End of Tip Section
78" .197" Start of Butt Section
84" .207"
90" .220"
96" .233"
102" .250"
108" )
114" )Wooden Handle
120" )
The original MkIV's all had a length of
solid cane spliced into the butt section after the 102"mark.Modern
builders generally continue the area under handle by extending the built
cane up to the 120" point .Your guess at what these dimensions should be
are as good as anyones for this area of the rod.
For those looking at this taper and trying to work out what the hell it
is........the MkIV is quite possibly the most famous of any split cane /
bamboo UK fishing rod.It is a two piece rod, 10' long that was devised
by the late Richard Walker for Carp and general big fish hunting.It has
also been used for Salmon spinning and Pike fishing with live/deadbaits.
This rod would handle any Musky that swims!
If anyone has any further interest in this rod have a look at;
www.traditional-angling.co.uk and have a look at the 'articles'page for
a brief description of the S/U version of this classic.
Tight lines.......Paul
