I have been looking about for a Heddon 1 3/4 f 8.5ft taper for awhile. I understand that the Heddon model numbers don't really matter but the ferrule designation tells the taper. I can find a lot of 1 3/4f tapers in 7ft-8ft, but not really a 8.5ft taper.
There is one taper in David Ray's that is a 9ft 5wt taper. But nothing to indicate it is a 1 3/4f one. (it may be, though) So call me suspicious in not wanting to assume and use that one.
Could someone be willing to send me the taper, who has a 8.5ft 1 3/4f rod? I have one, a #10, but it is a single tip and I know the tip is not a Heddon tip. It is longer than it should be as well. The mid and butt both are in decent shape. I could probably come up with something taper-wise for a tip, but I'd rather get some more accurate/correct numbers for the taper. I'd like the feel of the rod to be as intended from Heddon, after I get done with it. Especially if I take the time to refinish and re-guide the rod.
I've been trying to get my hands on the Heddon book, on and on for about 5+ years, but no real luck with that at this point. I've assumed that the Heddon book would have a listing of all the Heddon tapers in it?
Thanks for your patience.
