Well after setting my form and planing the strips I glued them up and it should have been a Sir D 7042!! I really don't know what happened here, but I suspect some hidden gremlins in my man cave!!
It's a brilliant 48 inch tip and powerful..., I think it's about 8_9#

Q. What butt for this and its line weight.

.109
.130
.139
.155
.166
.180
.190
.224
.240
.246


Could make a ledger or spinning or light carp rod too!! Hmmmm

Thanks guys

You can go flat under the grip, if you wish.  Graph the numbers to see what it looks like.

If you will, have a look at this taper built as a 3 piece for a 10 wt. line Quite powerful with some flex down into the butt. It is nothing like your original intent though.

Thanks Tim. Thanks Galt. Much appreciated.

Looks like I`m going to make a real heavyweight fly rod. Something I have`nt got.

Might put/fit a removable extension for a fixed spool reel.
