Granger Champion Taper - Steve Stillabower
HI All,
Forget who wanted this, but here 'tis. First time I've ever measured off a
rod, so be kind if I messed it up! This is over varnish on a 1924-1934 era
9' 3/2 rod.
tip mid butt
0 top fer fer
5 .093 .203 .281
10 .117 .225 .311
15 .133 .237 .312
20 .147 .251 .324
25 .163 .260 .339 (.363@26, .394@27, .404@27.5)
30 .178 .262 cork
35 .184 .265 cork
Pretty dramatic swelled butt I think! I would deduct .004 for the varnish.
The 35" measurement on the tip and mid was actually just above the ferrule
wrap, so call it 34 and change. I like you guys, but I ain't gonna take
this baby apart to measure it
