Several people asked me to post this taper for a rod I am in the process of
refinishing.   The rod is a Leonard 8' 0", 2 piece, Model Letort 40 for a #
4 line.  This is a very light, full flexing, rod that cant be hurried, but I
believe it would be ideal for delicate presentation.  The measurements are
taken at 5" centres over bare cane (varnish was removed) and are the average
of 3 flats.  Measurements are also given in front of the male and female
ferrules and at the sharp swelling in front of the cork grip.  The rod has 9
guides including the stripper.  The ferrule is a 12/64" step-down style.
