To: Fishnabug@aol.com From: fiveside@net-gate.com (Bill Fink) Cc: rodmakers@wugate.wustl.edu Hi David, Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. Got involved with some steelheads and chinooks. A 42 inch chinook will just not be rushed. I miked two Orvis Flea rods in 1970. They tracked each other pretty well. I liked the rods so I built a few. Here are the numbers measured over varnish: 1-078, 5-093, 10-105, 15-117, 20-128, 25-140, 30-153, 35-155, 40- 166, 45-185, 50-196, 55-205, 60-217, 65-234, 70-263. The top guide was size 5 and the ferrule was size 10. Just in case anyone else might be interested I'll post this to the list. Bill
