I'm repairing the wraps on a Gillum for a local owner. It's a powerful 7'6" 2pc #13 ferrule (Super Z) 6 wt that will (sort of ) cast a 5wt. A fast, but to too unyielding rod, I might make a copy for creek smallies. Here are the numbers after subtracting 5 thou for varnish-of medium thickness: 1 .071 5 .081 10 .100 15 .116 20 .136 25 .148 30 .161 35 .180 40 .205 Ferrule .210 at top .220 at base 50 .225 55 .242 60 .254 65 .276 70 .290 75 .292 80 .310 last 10" under handle and reelseat.
