Re Suggestions for 4 piece 6 wt backpacking rod - Lamberson, William R.

Mark,

I use the Gillum 7' #5 for backpacking.  It is designed as a
three-piece.  It fits in a 29" tube that I tape to the frame of my pack.
It works very well for backpacking (and airline travel), yet the taper
isn't compromised to suit this purpose.

Subject: [RODMAKERS] Suggestions for 4 piece 6 wt backpacking rod

Gentlemen,

Last spring I made a 4 piece Sir D for backpacking and it worked out
great 
for mountain streams, but it didn't have the backbone needed on some of
the 
windy lakes I encountered.  This winter, I would like to build a 4 piece
6wt 
to fill that gap.  I plan to use aluminum ferrules like I did on the Sir
D.  
Any suggestions for a taper?

Mark Lenarz
