Thanks for the welcome Banjo.

PC´s are wonderful things when they work....

Some neat little Maslan you got there. Hope you´ll get the time to fish her some. Beautiful rod.

One of my favourite 7½ foot tapers is the E.C. Powell Chris Raine measured (propbably a Maslan also I guess) and posted on the net. Most of the rods I make for poeple are that very taper. It´s listed as a 4wt but needs a 5wt line to be real nice.

Oh, how could I forget to ask... I assume the bag has a hang tag? If so, what does it say?

Sure. Here you go... From my 4 3/8 oz 8½ foot 5wt A-taper (Accuracy). They´re rare as I assume they got torn off pretty fast:

Wow! Never saw one before, and yes, that has to be a very scarce taper only enhanced by the hang tag for reference! Thanks for sharing...............
