F. E. Thomas "Dirigo"
9 ft #6 wt. 3 Peice
The following is the taper taken from an F.E. Thomas
"Dirigo", 9', 3pc., 6wt., 5.75 oz rod. Rod was built ca.
at the tip to 1 5/16" at the butt. The varnish is thin so a
deduction of .001" from the numbers below might be
applicable. The 96.25" measurement is the end of the
signature wraps 2" from the grip. Due to the presence of
winds, placement of the measuring points may be accurate to
only +/- .25".
Thanks to Reed Curry for providing this taper
