Mark,
The Payne catalog lists the 98 as a 7', "Fast DF-5".
The original taper I have is from an unvarnished rod....
tip 0 = .066, 5 = .082, 10 = .092, 15 = .110, 20 = .122, 25 = .137, 30 =
.147, 35 = .159, 40 = .171, 42 = .174
Butt 42 = .190, 45 = .194, 50 = .205, 55 = .220, 60 = .242, 65 = .261, 70 =
.281, 75 = .312, 80 = .316
Al & I both averaged the drop over the ferrule between 40 = .171 and 45 =
.194 which gives you a 42" measurement of 11.53/64th for a size12 ferrule.
Grip & reelseat...grip on the original was 6" and the skelton reelseat was a
cap & ring that measured 3 1/2" for a total length of 9 1/2".
Guides & spacing....I don't have the original spacing but the following works
really well on 7'er's..
tiptop, 4 1/2", 9 1/2", 15", 21 1/4", 28", 35 1/4", 44"(just below the
female ferrule), 53" stripper
sizes...I'd use one size 1/0, 2 - size #1, 3 -size #2, 1 -size 3, and a size
10 stripper or you could skip the 1/0 and use three size 1's instead
Tight Lines...fly and glue,
Dennis
