PHY Para 17 Version Three
by Young
This is from the original 7/49 version of the rod as posted by Wayne Cattanach Oct 7 1996. I hope I interpreted the numbers correct; it seems like the taper ''stops'' a long way in front of the grip.

Butt-loaded (progressive/slow action)
This rod has a "Butt-loaded (progressive/slow 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.
