Greg,
I use the Lee Wuff 6' Midge, 2 piece, with a ferrule size of 12/64. I use it because it is a sweet rod that is a pleasure to cast and because it allows me to choose from a #4 line to a #7 line depending on fishing conditions and just how far I want to cast. I have been told that Lee Wulff caught a 22 pound salmon on one of these. The fish I catch in the mountains of East Tennessee are usually under 12" rainbow trout. I like parabolic rods and that's just what this is so that's another reason I like it.
For Brett and anyone else who wanted the taper, here it is:

I got this taper from Paul Blakley who got the taper from a friend's rod. I have made a few slight changes to make things easier for the way I set up my planing forms. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me off line or in a post if you think others will be interested.

different as well.
