Any one looking for a small, light line rod, may want to try one of these out. I've built three of these so far. One for myself and two for a couple of older gentleman for brook trout fishing. It is a five foot, one weight, two piece. It is great for the small streams here in New York. The taper is as follows. 0-.050 5-.060 10-.067 15-.080 20-.087 25-.098 30-.110 35-.118 40-.130 45-.146 50-.182 55-.240 60-.240 I used size 8/64 ferrules. Dave L.
