| Comments | Butt swell starts at 84" Here is the taper for the Model #17 1 1/2F Extra Lite Trout rod. This casts well with a #3 333 DT line. Also tried an F silk level line that casts well. 1 1/2 F (16/64) butt ferrule 10/64 tip ferrule. Black tenite (3 1/2") downlocking reel seat. Pyralin butt cap. N/S hardware. 5 1/2" reverse wells cork grip Same pattern as the Model 50 President only smaller. Black wraps with orange tipping. All measurements taken with 1/2" Starret mic using pressure release. All varnish was removed. Tips are mirrored and so little difference between the two tips I am only showing one measurement. |
