Payne 204 Taper - dennis higham


Don-
  The following is the Payne 204 taper I have. The rod was measured over
varnish and the rod was either overvarnished or had been badly redone
because there were some drips in the varnish. The rod was miced by John
Channer and posted to the list back in Feb. as an 81/2 Payne. John and I
e-mailed back and forth and finally came to the conclusion that it was a
204.
1 = .068,       5 = .090,  10 = .109,  15 = .129,  20 = .138,  25 = .150, 
30 = .160,  32.5 @ ferrule wrap =.168,  35 = .182,  40 = .201,  45 = .218, 
50 = .232,  55 = .242,  60 = .256,  64.75 just above the ferrule wrap =
.262,  70 = .282,  75 = .294,  80 = .312,  85 = .327,  90 = .358
start hookeeper wrap @ 92. Guides 4.5, 9.5, 15.5, 22.5, 29.75, 36.75, 43.5,
52, 61, 70.5, 79.5.
If the tip and mid taper resembles your 204 then you can probably use the
butt  #'s. Hope this helps.
