What I do is I find a taper I like (in this case a Payne 98) and I 
adjust the taper for the added ferrule weight . The tip section stays 
the same , the next section is increased by .002, the third by .003 and 
so on. This really isn't rocket science!  I never plug a taper into a 
"fancy-shmancy" computer program. I also never graph a taper. Now, I am 
not saying there is anything wrong with doing that but it's just not me. 
Here is the Taper I used.
    7'  5pc. #4
00 "     .067"
05       .083
10       .093
15       .111
20       .124
25        .139
30        .150
35        .163
40        .177
45        .195
50        .208
55        .224
60        .246
65        .265
70        .284
75        .312
80        .312
84        .312
I made the rod with only 1 tip because with pack rods for extra tips to 
be effective the first 2 or 3 sections need to be made extra as that is 
where the majority of the flexing takes place. I also planed this rod in 
2 sections and then cut them to length.. Marty
