John;
I order for me to look at the taper, I would need the measurements of the assembled rod measured from tip to butt. Maybe some time you might get a chance to do this. If you do I will send you the plotted taper and a graph of what it looks like.
Thanks
Bob Norwood

David,
I've got a couple of South Bend 291's (7 1/2' 5 wt.4 piece). I really enjoy them. If you can't find a taper for them online, I'll be happy to mic them for you.
You can also pick one up on ebay occasionally for $200 to $300.

Why are there so few 4 piece tapers mentioned? I just scanned Hexrod and
found one...a Phillipson Smuggler. A 4 piece version of the Sir D was
mentioned on the list several years ago. Does the third ferrule really kill
the action? Or is it the cost of adding another ferrule? Is anyone fishing
a 4 piece taper that they would recommend (in the 7 to 8 foot, 4 to 6 weight
category)?
