Sylph taper - robert maulucci
I just picked up a South Bend Single Built Cross Sylph model that is a great
casting rod. However, it is dramatically different in taper from the rod in
the taper archives. Can someone explain this? I thought that Wes Jordan
kept everything pretty close to specs. Or else, is the taper archive rod
misnamed. Anyway, if someone wants the taper here goes:
