Two Banty rod tapers - homeydklown
Here are a couple of tapers I received from a friend who
shall remain nameless (Art Port) ;-) last night. The
first is a Payne 4' 4" 2 piece rod. I'm not sure of the
line weight of either rod, though I'd guess at a four
DT...

According to the sheet these tapers came on, the Hardy
taper was submitted to the list by Ray Gould. As for
the Payne, I'll insert a comment on the spreadsheet that
gives a little explanation...
I hope this helps satisfy some curiosities on the list.
I'd be interested to hear about the results of these
numbers if they actually become flyrods.
Enjoy,
