I sent this back a while ago and i think the list was having problems at
that time and it never made it through so I'm re sending it. Hope it
gets some responses this time. Also if anyone has any penta tapers feel
free to send those to me! TIA

Hey guys,
               while looking through a book tonight I found an article
which contained a taper for a Penta rod that I believe might have been
written by Claude M Kreider? The taper doesn't appear to be in his book
though.
It is supposed to be a strong 5 sided rod at 8'0" It doesn't say what wt
it is for but the ferrule is a 14/64 so I'm going to guess that it is
for a 5 or 6 wt allowing for the larger ferrule of a 5 sider(???)
                  I'll post it here and maybe someone will recognize the
taper and be able to give us some info on the rod. The taper is on
6"stations. If anyone builds it let me know how it goes.

Hopefully this rings a bell with someone out there. Enjoy,

Shawn
