Hexagonal Tapers

Classic Tapers - Custom Tapers

 

I offer a very large array of tapers and rod actions to choose from.  For simplicity I have divided these into two different groups. 

Classic Tapers are those that have been designed by rodmakers and companies who either no longer exist or whose tapers have become public domain for one reason or another.  Classic tapers are usually pretty specific when it comes to attributes such as length, line weight and number of sections but in some cases minor adjustments can be made including hollow building.  For example, the Dickerson 8013 can be made into a 3 piece rod fairly easily.  If you are interested in a specific classic taper but don't see it listed, please ask as I very likely am able to make it.  I have broken the classic tapers down into line weights then further by 'speed', or a rough indication of their action.  For specifics and differences, please get in touch and I'll be happy to go over the details with you.

Custom Tapers are those that I have made myself.  Oftentimes a custom taper will be similar in feel and/or action to a classic taper but in all cases I have either modified a classic taper or designed the taper and/or series up from scratch using various techniques.  I offer many, many different configurations in the various custom tapers so I don't bother listing them all.  If you are interested in a custom taper, just check with me in regards to the details and I'm sure I have a model that will fit your needs.
