Re anybody have a 8 4 weight taper - Harry Boyd

Lee,

    Not trying to be funny or mean, but there are many  very good 
graphite rods available today in longer, light line configurations.  
There are limits to any material, and fast, light tapers in longer 
lengths approach those limits in bamboo.  One of these days all of us 
bamboo nuts are going to be forced to face how fantastic today's 
graphite rods really are.

    Having said that, I'd strongly recommend taking the 8' 3 weight 
Leonard Tournament in the Taper Archives at Jerry's Rodmakers page, and 
converting it to a 4 weight with Hexrod.  Though the action of that rod 
is progressive, it has an extremely fast tip.
