Hi Lee,

I can't seem to find any info on the taper online. Is there a diagram on the box?

Cheers, Paul
It's an exploration; bring a flyrod.

Great again, thanks a lot Lee

Clearly one is faster than the other, but which one? The normal way I guess. And in both cases.
Now the problem is to know about the taper. Like Paul I cannot see any info on their site. Do we have to find a way to measure that taper?

Thanks Lee.

I'll take a wild guess and say the one with the dodgy loop is the reversed one in each case. I don't think any company would release a line that would cast like that! :)

Cheers,
Graeme

I knew “out of the box” would come back to bite me... :D :D
The box was thrown away a long time ago I’m afraid.

basically it’s triangle taper style with a level section of belly near the back.

It’s fine on it’s own, even the wrong way round 🤓

I could mic it every 1ft and send you the measurements.

Flycasting, so simple that instructors need to make it complicated since 1685

Got a Q++ at casting school, wearing shorts ;)
