#2I have the Pickard 8'6" 7 wt rod that would need to be miked if you think you can play with the numbers, taking 3 inches of the joints just might get you in the ballpark with the base taper regression.....Todd

#3Myself and others have made the Dickerson 8015 Guide Special using the numbers from The Lovely Reed. The rod is cataloged as a 7 weight, however, many believe it is better suited for an 8 weight line.

#4It is interesting with the Dickerson 8'0" rods; The 8013 is a 5 WT, The 8014 is noted as a 6WT, the 8014 Guide 6-7WT, the 8015 a 6+WT, 8015 Guide a 7+WT, where as the 8015 Guide Special is around the 7-8WT range. I would think the 8015 Guide Special would be of interest to you. The previous mentioned 8'6" Pickard was a taper Pickard took directly off my Paul Young Texan.
