lee Wulff Ultimate Taper - paul.blakley

It's like waiting for a policeman, nothing for ages and then four rods
turn up at once.
Finally measured up an original rod ( the owner has three !)and I have
just heard of a widow with one unused example coming up for sale.

I have cast this rod with a 5# line and I simply must have one......so

If the owner won't sell me one in the next week this is the taper I
simply must build......enjoy.......Paul B
