Re 5 foot rod taper - Bob Nunley

Jeff,
    Try this if you'd like.  It's a 4 wt, but you can probably run it
through HexRod or something else and kick it down to a three pretty easy.
It casts nice on short casts and can roll a good line across the water.
Dimensions below are half diameter, or the actual form settings.

Later,
Bob
