Re Cross Rod Taper - Chris Bogart

Tom

	A long time ago Reed Curry Xerox'd the tapers out of Herter's book 
for me.  If anyone has it - this taper is on page 140 as follows:

	but section is 42.873 in long

	end	.1555
	7"	.1555
	13	.1435
	19	.135
	25	.125
	31	.1175
	36	.108
	41.873	.102
			13/64 ferrule
	tip section is 42.873 in long

	end	.102
	7	.089
	13	.0795
	19	.068
	25	.0575
	31	.0475
	36	.0435
	42.873	.039
	
	5/64 top

	Total length of reel seat and cork grip is 8 3/4 in though they reccomend a
7 in cork grip on the rod..

	HDH  line recommend even though you may think it is too heavy.

	Guides: But section 1 stripping guide 29 3/8 from end and 1 snake 10 3/8
from stripping fuide

	tip section 5 snake guide 9 1/4, 7 7/8, 7 7/8, 7 and 6 3/8 center to center from the snake guide on butt
section when rod is assembled.


	Hope this provides even more information on this rod.  It is
one remarkable rod.
