Subject: 9' rod taper needed
Hi Doug,

Here is the taper for a 9' 3/2 Divine Special (# R5089), which works well 
with a #4 WF line.The rod weighs 4 7/8 oz and has a very smooth medium slow

action. It makes a nice presentation at a fair distance.

Was hoping to find out what the list would recommend in the way of a 9 foot
rod. Was hoping for a 3 piece in the range if a 4 or 5 weight. Any
thoughts? TIA
