Gary I have a taper for a five foot-one weight. I've built three of these rods so far and they are a dream to fish with. I caught a thirteen inch brown with mine about a month ago. Boy what a fight. The other two that I built for a couple of older gentlemen have hooked and landed trout up to sixteen inch with there rods. This is a five foot two piece.

This rod has a "Balanced / moderate action" stress profile. Stress varies significantly across the rod. Some sections work much harder than others, creating a pronounced action character. Peak stress is in the optimal working range. The rod is efficiently utilizing the bamboo's strength.
