Comments | 120-.465 125-480 130-.495 135-.510 140-.525 144-.537 ET is Electrical Tape This rod has three sections and was made specifically for floating lines and skating deer hair flies for west coast steelhead. The rod is a bit too soft for heavy sinking lines and large flies. It was also designed to be hollow-built with spliced ferrules. I use a Rio Mid-Spey 6/7 line and can routinely Spey-cast 80-90 feet with it. The joints have a 25:1 slope tapering to .060". The spliced ferrule overlaps are: butt to mid: 7.86"; mid to tip: 4.57". The finished rod should be exactly 12 feet long. The joints are held together with transparent tape |
