F. E. Thomas "Dirigo" |
|---|
9 ft #6 wt. 3 Peice |
The following is the taper taken from an F.E. Thomas
"Dirigo", 9', 3pc., 6wt., 5.75 oz rod. Rod was built ca.
1930 with full intermediates of six winds spaced from 3/8"
at the tip to 1 5/16" at the butt. The varnish is thin so a
deduction of .001" from the numbers below might be
applicable. The 96.25" measurement is the end of the
signature wraps 2" from the grip. Due to the presence of
winds, placement of the measuring points may be accurate to
only +/- .25".
