Here is a taper for a rod I am re varnishing. It is 9 1/2 feet long, with 39"
sections. It has a 6 inch removable fighting butt, that also allows it to be
cast two handed. I believe an 8  weight line will be correct. The action of
this rod is slow, and it is as comfortable to cast as a cane rod of this size
and line weight can be. Dimensions are without varnish.
