Mike B. asked for a taper for a 7' 3wt. so I measured some sticks I have. 
These were made by the F.E.Thomas Co. shortly before they closed in 195(8?)

and represent the fine swelled butt dry-fly rods that were their hallmark. 
My 12 year old son, Daniel, will be assembling his first complete rod from 
these (he's done plenty of winding, ties a great fly, casts well, is an 
excellent companion ...).

Total length - 84" -- (7' 2pc. 3wt.)
