Pezon et Michel St Louis Type Dubos

Hi All

Any chance someone would have the taper for the Pezon et Michel St Louis Type Dubos? I've done a search and haven't turned up anything yet.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks
Just

Don't have the taper but really liked that rod when I owned it. Nice smooth medium flex parabolic.

Hello Just,
I don't know if this will help you, here are some measures taken on the PPP St Louis rod.

First of all the profile:


Then the position of the rings:


Important information!
concerning the profile, the measurements were made on a completed rod, ie on a varnished rod.

legaulois81,
thank you very much for posting that. i have measured all my pezons, plotting the tapers and deriving the stress curves to study. i have not had the opportunity to cast or measure this rod. i am happy to add it to my collection.

just,

it is my observation in handling many pezons that the shellac used as a finish coat is thinner that the varnish coat that is typically applied to a bamboo fly rod. i usually deduct only 0.004 in. from the flat to flat dimension when i correct the measurements of a finished rod.
