Re Taper suggestion - Don Andersen

Chris,

Do a bunch of lake fishing with sinking lines. I use a Para 15. In fact, I 
built a second this winter so I don't have to change lines all the time on 
the rod.  And if the second works out, I may build a third to handle all my 
floating/sinking line situations.
The Para 15 is tough enough that I've probably landed  several hundred + 5 
lb. trout on it over the past 5 years. The only failure was the guides. Pac 
Bay chromes aren't all that tough. Now running Ti guides on the rod.

regards,


Don
