Dean Jones Penta taper

Looking for 7' tapers for Dave Hughes model.
Thanks.

I’m not sure I can help you much but I know of the Hughes rod of which you speak. Although I do not have the taper, I do know who obtained at least some of Dean’s rod building equipment. Whether he has Dean’s tapers or not I do not know. If you PM me I can provide his contact information.

If you had access to Dave’s rod you could always measure it. Because of the penta geometries you would have to have a 108 degree “V” block to measure the rod. If you you do not have one I would gladly loan you mine.

Thank you, Marty. I kind of figure this might be a shot in the dark.
