Two Banty rod tapers - homeydklown


Here are a couple of tapers I received from a friend who 
shall remain nameless (Art Port) ;-) last night.  The 
first is a Payne 4' 4" 2 piece rod.  I'm not sure of the 
line weight of either rod, though I'd guess at a four 
DT...

According to the sheet these tapers came on, the Hardy 
taper was submitted to the list by Ray Gould.  As for 
the Payne, I'll insert a comment on the spreadsheet that 
gives a little explanation...



I hope this helps satisfy some curiosities on the list.  
I'd be interested to hear about the results of these 
numbers if they actually become flyrods.



Enjoy,
