As a follow on to my recent posting on tournament fly rod tapers here
are a few bait casting tapers ( for those few of us interested ! )as
extracted from 'Tournament Fly and Bait Casting Tapers ' by Earl Osten
and published by Barnes in 1946.

All dims are in sixty fourths of an inch !

such a taper earlier in the week for his father in law and the 18lb
trout in his local fishery....where do these lucky people live ????)

9,11,13,15,18,20,22,24,27 and 29

General All Round bait Caster
Length 51/2'
8,9,11,13,15,17,19,20,22 and 24

One Piece Tournament Rods

yet with abundant power to propel the plug to the farthest targets.

Note the last two calibrations could be 25/64 and 26/64 without
affecting the action of this superb rod ( so says the book ! )

Regards all.......Paul
