Chris,
    Yup... I have a 9' 9wt that is a killer for big fish... It's a two =
piece and hollow built it comes out to about 5 3/4 ounces, so isn't too =
bad on the arm.  Here's the taper if you want it.  Talk to Harry Boyd, I =
believe he modified this for a 3 piece rod, so he may have something to =
say about the action on it.  I build this rod in 60" long sections, then =
when you trim for the ferrule fit, you'll end up with the ferrule =
fitting at the .272 station, so it uses a 17/64ths ferrule.

Later,
Bob
