Re Favorite tapers - Neil Savage

A couple of you have asked for Ron Barch's modified Payne 98.  David Ray had 
it in his spreadsheet a while ago. Finished rod is 84" long, weighs 3 5/8 
oz.

0   .066
5   .082
10 .092
15 .110
20 .122
25 .137
30 .147
35 .159
40 .171
45 .194
50 .205
55 .220
60 .242
65 .261
70 .281
75 .312
80 .312
Station 42 is .176 on the tip, and .190 on the butt.  You have to fudge the 
ferrule fit just a bit.  I used a 12/64 ferrule.  I think the original used 
an 11/12 step-down.  Neil
