One-weight taper

[HexaMaineiac]

For giggles I’d like to attempt a one-weight rod, I’ve lost my taper for Tony Spezio’s rod, don’t know of others. Sources?

Hollow build ?

Here is Tony's post to the Rodmakers email list from 8/1/2011. I'm not sure what a "trenched" ferrule is. Maybe just truncated?

I have gotten a number of requests for the 1 wt taper. It can be found on Larry's DNA but I thought I would post it. It is a neat little bluegill rod, I have made 11 of them. Some made on this taper and some with .002 added to the tip section. The rod is 6'3" uses a 9 trenched ferrule, an 8mm stripper and a 3.5 tip top. The reel seat is a .650 X 3 1/2".

It can be made on this taper but I like it better with .001 added to the form setting for the tip section. Art Port made one on the taper below. He had it at the 07 Gathering.
