6 3 - #2 weight tapers - WayneCatt


     I have been reluctent in the past to list tapers for 2 weight rods -
they are not intended for tarpon fishing. I have built a couple - always with
reservations on how they are going to be fished. Listed below are the numbers
for the 6' 3"  2's. An interesting point - on the 2 piece the ferrule is the
same as the upper ferrule of the 3 piece 4 weight. These tapers will test the
ol' planing forms.
