Phillipson Smuggler
by Phillipson
75 is correct. Dave and Christian Here is the taper for the Phillipson Smuggler. The measurements do NOT have the deduction for varnish. The condition of the rod is excellent with the varnish at full thickness. IMHO this rod casts a 6 wgt at medium to long distance very nicely. Not that great when in close. Minus 25 feet. Maybe would be better with a 7 wgt for in close. I hope this helps. Ron Huff

This rod has a "Parabolic (butt-flex)" stress profile. Stress varies significantly across the rod. Some sections work much harder than others, creating a pronounced action character. Peak stress is well below the failure threshold, giving this rod a generous safety margin.
