The second you deviate from a straight line, no matter how you want to describe it, the fact that there was a straight line is irrelevant. (Robin Haywood). (Will Price), Is not 7'6'' a bit short for a five weight? 0.128 Suggest that you subtract .006 for varnish. But I imagine that high output builders didn't have every rod turn out the same for whatever reason. Worked well enough for me to pass the test. Maybe it is the version of the taper they are making, there are several out there. There are two Perfectionists on Hexrod. Get information on services and amenities, security protocols, health and safety measures, and more. (Frank Stetzer, Hexrod, Taper Archive, Rodmakers Archive), I'm grateful to you for that point because a recent post referred to straight taper Garrisons and I wonder if he meant straight stress "curves".

The American Museum of Fly Fishing Collection Gift of . by canerodscom 05/09/09 02:32, Post For those of you that have built this rod, does it flex into the beginning of the handle? A 2pc rod is much less vulnerable to breakage when fitted that way than a 3pc tip ferrule. Very Good condition. I would specifically urge all to look at the graphs. (Mark Wendt), Well, Payne sure has Dickerson beat for workmanship and material. Even then I wince about their roll casting deficiencies. You can build this rod and have a neutral action rod (my term). OK, the rod was a Paul Young Perfectionist. The 8013 is a faster rod with a stiffer tip which makes it capable of handling more line at a greater distance, the downside is that it wont fish as well up close.

(Todd Talsma), I had rather hoped that I might finesse out of someone just what these specific requirements might be. 0.229 The part of the ferrule that fits over the bamboo on the tip section (male ferrule) had the same exact inside diameter of .221" INITIALLY! Kind of sounds like a pro Pickard crowd here. Because Ritz was not an engineer, any more than Creusevaut or Plantet were (although the latter may have been a competent mechanic) it was thought that the extension pole should be just that, a large diameter pole of slow taper. How drastically do you think it would change the action if I pushed the swell out in front of the handle? As Stephen points out if you can cast the rods then graph them out you really start to understand how it all comes together. Its just simply to do with maximum stiffness (IE minimum deflection) for a given material weight. 0.369 (Al Baldauski). I love the 7612 Taper. 0 .084 .238 (2 1/2" @ ferrule wrap) 0.232 The taper is designed for trout fishing. According to Hoagy Carmichael Jr. who filmed a documentary for Boston Public TV, the Payne Rod Co. made approximately 12,000 rods during it's existence. Know what to expect when you visit LAN, so you can feel prepared for your upcoming trip! The 8013 is an 8' 0", 2/2, 5wt., 4.35 oz. Pt 0 is the butt side of the strips. My original Dickerson is an 861711D dated 1936. 'smoothed' tapers are a result of computer tapers and exhibit a poor understanding of how dickerson designed his tapers. 20 .143 .292 Straight tapers are just that, nobody needs to develop them, as if they did they wouldn't be straight anymore. (Al Baldauski). . by Lee Koch 06/12/16 21:18, Post Some good stuff here. To this Robin brings up the complications created by the weight and placement of ferrules etc. (Jerry Foster). . The Lovely Reed by Jack Howell has numbers for the 1949 and 1951 versions. Tell me about it please. (Steve Weiss), That's the rub isn't it? I have been working with Bob Norwood's taper program, using it to derive a basic set of reference tapers. It is quite different that the Garrison math method. Can you direct me to where I can find more information on this? Examples would be different techniques or methods used by restorationists and makers. I have made quite a few Dickerson tapers. More info. he then concludes with a diabolical smile. Part of the midwest cadre of noted builders, he built rods from the 1930's onward and was especially known for his fast two-piece rods. . Casting range allows for some delicacy up close and personal, to the times that you want to reach out and touch someone a bit further away. If you add bamboo the the tip of the rod, you have changed its mass (MOI/MOE) relative to what it was. The guy turns out to be a top casting instructor. .212 is way too big for a 13/64, it's well into the 14/64 fit range. You can easily introduce straight line tapers as well. Daryll Whitehead would be another good choice. No Question about it, John Pickard. The 8014 taper was devised later in Lyle's life and reflects both this ma Point Dimension My 2 cents. In reading my post the tone seems a little harsh. The part of the ferrule that fits on the bamboo on the female side (butt side) had an inside diameter (ID) of .221", or 14/64. Reducing material in the butt section will make the butt more limber and allow flex deeper into the butt. by cutthroattroutnm 05/09/09 16:50, Post How would you characterize their casting characteristics? As you know line weight do vary so maybe your 8 wt is my 7 wt, or something like that? Unknown, so I would hesitate to speculate. 95 0.3435 (Tom Bowden). I don't find the 7'6" length to be too short. (Robin Haywood). That's like saying that only the 49ers could find gold. Dickerson 8014 8' 5wt.

(Mark Wendt), I am wanting to build a Dickerson 7012 but cant find a taper that accounts for the step downs. by ShenRods 05/08/09 01:54, Post But more relevant and to the point, I bought a single tip Dickerson 7613 from John and he recently provided me with a second tip from pre-embargo cane and original Dickerson hardware, and the action is a dead ringer for the original Dickerson 7613. faster tapers. The other point is that in the case of, for want of a better word, 'non-extreme' rods, I believe that what happens in the top 20" is the primary determinant of the line weight. (Paul Blakley). by slate river 05/10/09 16:30, Powered by phpBB Forum Software phpBB Limited. As this was my favorite rod, much foul language followed. 70 0.261 133729 Hi Guys, Also, some of those Heddons would have had pins through the tab area causing, in my view, problems. and .360@45. The '51 is a bit softer. 0.214 0.232 All he needed to do was speed up the butts, preferably with a concave taper form, and he would really have been cooking with gas! 5 .326 .168 5 wt 0.0720 0.189 45 0.186 158623 The 7613 is a wonderfully versatile taper, the rod is light in the hand, and is at home casting sizes #6 Muddlers to #16 Dry flies. If you want to adjust for a different varnish assumption, or if you want to interpolate differently, then our actual measurements are there for you (or anyone, of course) to do so. Apparently, the 'old masters' were just building fishing rods and not too worried about picking the fly poop out of the pepper. I have never seen an actual inch by inch measure and measure for ferrules listed that I felt was more reliable than this. The other issue is mandrels and they just don't come in 1/128 sizes. Over the last few days there has been a long thread about rods breaking at the female ferrule. I have a chart of the dimensions at home, if you need a copy email me off list. A straight line taper could be arbitrary, but in this case it is very specific to line weight. The 1970 Dickerson has the same type tip as the 1952 except it has a very shallow flex in the upper butt and a faster swell into the butt, a 4/5 wt, faster rod. Garrison would have like straight line stress/strain results for the same reason Richard Walker did. On Corrib I used an 8'8''#4 nearly all the time, in fact I designed it for the job. (Will Price). Take a Garrison. Just for once I'm going to recommend a step down ferrule! On a theoretical straight line or linear taper the rod would load progressively down to the handle. The butt dimension at the ferrule is too large to fit in a 13/64. In fact, I used this taper, hollow built, when taking the FFF casting certification test. The idea is that the butt must not bend, and when it does its only at the very end, if it bends further down then the height of the line above the ground is dramatically reduced and thus fully one half of the "High speed high line" proposition is not met. That's so the swell is still in the action length. (Robin Haywood). But if you change any of these inputs, the taper, length or weight of line cast, the stress curve will no longer be flat. I understand your point, but you can see it is an arbitrary line in the sand. .288@30 Still own the other and it has a DT6 on it. (four piece) carbon fiber fly rod blank $85.00 13' 7/8wt. 0.360 (Tim Pembroke). Are there specific numbers at the ferrule for, say, an 8013 where a 14/64's ferrule is used? If you want to make one as a sort of standard then try a rate of taper of 13.5 thousandths per station, it gives a Gould rating of 270 which is a useful point about which to have a conversation with yourself about what you think is medium fast and what you think is fast. I would argue that the variances are due to machine error, rather than deliberate (consider that you are tapering the strips by running them thru a glorified router, excuse me milling machine, using a worn wooden pattern board running over metal rollers, to determine the taper. If so, which would work best as an all-around rod for lakes/ponds and steelhead/salmon? So a 13 size ferrule has a female and male sleeve that is .203 and a male insert that is .1718 or 11/64's. There are some differences between their tapers and line sizes, however they are all somewhat medium fast. by Morten 05/26/17 03:35, Post 6 wt 0.0752 0.241 Is there anyone who could help us finding the right data conserning the taper. (Peter Jones), If you "Put some cane back" in the bottom eighteen inches or so of the top joint you will have removed most of my objections. The Dickerson step down ferrule concept I need to know. 1 wt 0.0540 This should cause some debate as a lot of our American cousins rave about this wimpy stick? Your projected experiment may be described as simplistic and wasteful of time by some, but I think that you will learn a very great deal about what you personally like about taper rates. I have made several and all have been well received. Acclaimed as one of the finest rod tapers ever conceived. I Have commented additionally, if trivially in a private post on the other points. (Mark Wendt). 13/12. That is all I did! They would be, Heavy butt section, Light butt section, heavy tip, light tip, Parabolic (heavy in the middle) and the hinge (light in the middle). Jim P. you have some great choices there. (David Zincavage), You can inform your authority that he is wayyyyyyyyyy off base!! Dickerson 8014 Fred Bears Rod, 2606 -1. Ya'll, I have built this & I use a 6 weight forward on it. (Rich Jezioro). Another maker who knows Dickerson tapers very well is Rick Cunningham. DICKERSON 8013 RBS Special - 8' 2/2 - 5wt- honey colored - the legendary 8013 Special is an impressive and powerful med/fast action all-round trout -- taper miked from a Ray Bergman original shop rod. The 7012 HB is super light, and can cast with the best of them. 70 0.271 Dickerson was a self-taught rodmaker who designed his own rod-milling and planing equipment. Lyle Dickerson tapered copies Lyle Dickerson (1892-1981) has long been known as a pioneer in rodbuilding, due partly to his use of machinery in production but primarily appreciated by fishermen for many of his fast and accurate taper designs. (Steve Weiss), Good idea, Steven, but you would have get in line behind me and one of my Garrisons. It didn't make since to me but went ahead and planed the butt section the way it was listed. 3 months after I had the guy back on the phone asking me to make another one as its the best rod he has ever had. I have looked on the Rodmakers site under tapers and it is not listed. ever wonder why all those 10 1/2/64 Heddons broke at the female ferrule? As Lou points out, it is nicest with the kind of ferrule Dickerson made himself. Don't you find short rods a problem on those splendid Yorkshire chalk streams? I own one of his 7612s and it's a wonderful rod. Removing material in the center creates a hinge aiding in roll casting ability (thank you Harry for that bit of information). (Jerry Foster). by avyoung 06/17/16 04:49, Post It made a fine rod, but you have to smooth out the taper leading into and out of the 45 and 50" stations as the rod was designed for a step down ferrule. Here are the tapers of the Dickerson 8014GS from the rod Jeff Fultz mic'ed and from Banjo's rod, since I had several requests both on and off list, I'll post here so anyone who wants them can save them. Leonard patent, I believe. Both tapers conform to the shape broadly called parabolic and thus will have the shortcomings that all rods of this misconceived taper share. by JohnI 05/09/09 04:06, Post .but like most opinions you will find that many on this list (and in the world at large) are not going to agree with you. (Chris Obuchowski), Hexrods library seems to suggest otherwise. He has some of the original taper ledgers from Dickerson's shop and can clone a rod as well as anyone. You simply have to then adjust the rate of change of the taper - the rise. 0 .326 .180 Tapers are very personal things. His total production was fewer than 1,000 rods. Cynically, but I may not have entirely given up, yet. The Dickersons that I've seen were similar. 0 0.068 Good question and I will tell you as soon as I finish my 5wt SLT. Inevitably, if part of the strain is caused by rings ferrules and varnish, as it must be, then its resultant effect will detract from the weight of line that rod will cast. That said, even this quite powerful taper isn't sufficient to handle large deer hair bass bugs or heavily weighted 2/0 streamers. In case you didn't get the taper before, here it is: 0.066 There are several different specs for this taper out there, three of which I use. 0.120 0.138 But you also have the opportunity to add or remove material any ware alone the length of that rod and doing so will have an taper specific effect on the casting/fishing characteristics of the rod. The butt has a long flex area from 45"- 75" and a butt swell. The rod I measured generally has 3/3 node spacing with the exception of two nodes falling right next to each other. I think we can say that adding more material to a tip section would produce more power and reducing material on the tip section will increase accuracy and delicacy of fly presentation. (Robin Haywood). (Robin Haywood), This would be very easy, but would impact on other desirable qualities. by LeeO 05/26/17 07:47, Post For each size ferrule there is a specific range of dimensions that will fit inside each size. by Jim 05/08/09 01:45, Post The stepped down portion of the male is 2/64's smaller than the sleeve. Grayrock 96. that'd be super! All Dickerson copies include Dickerson aesthetics, blued ferrules & an agate stripping guide. (Tim Pembroke), I wasn't aware of that but now that I've been told it does make perfect sense. June - October 0.174 0.088 I do find that I am using much shorter rods than I did, I think its the American influence of this Listserv! I have fished some pretty big water with this rod and it has served me very well. 48 .224 .375, I don't know how Banjo arrived at the measurements under the grip and reel seat. by avyoung 06/12/16 21:15, Post If you want a rod that feels like a SLT then you must compensate for the ferrules and varnish and guides by adding the proper amount of bamboo at the correct points on the taper. Jim Payne. 0.178 765: 7'6" 2/2 5 wt. If you like I can send you a compensated SLT and you will see what I mean. However many people may like them, does this mean they cannot be improved on? These were Bailey Woods stepdown ferrules. (Robin Haywood). Ralph Tuttle did the actual spreadsheet work. As a rule I only make #5 rods (like Marinaro) and the bulk of these are less than 7'6". I've also made an 8-1/2' with tip dimension of .072, which made a really nice 6/7 weight. "God made dogs to steal our hearts and they do.". I have modified these tapers to adjust them for what I think is a more modern feel. The rod action will not resemble a straight line taper any longer. The last tip measurement (that goes into the male ferrule) is .204. What I do is look at the actual flat to flat measurements of the blank at the ferrule ends, match it against the chart for the best fit. Measurements under the handle are obviously estimates. Forgot to mention before, Rich Jezioro is taking a set of 11-12/64 ferrules to Grayling for the silent auction for me, so if anybody's interested you can see them there if you're attending. In fact, if you want to design a cane "Parabolic" which will perform as Ritz wanted all you have to do is choose a tip taper you fancy and plonk it out on the end of a fast taper hollow built butt of whatever length you fancy. Just as the "super Z's" have a female barrel that is 2/64's larger than the bamboo sleeve or male insert, it is the same, but opposite with the Dickerson style "stepped" ferrules. A Lyle Dickerson model 8014 bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 3-tip, and built for a #6 line. Great conversation. All Dickerson copies include Dickerson aesthetics, blued ferrules & an agate stripping guide if desired. I will suggest that rodmakers as a whole are not (especially the "classics" who were trying to make a living by banging out rods), but also that minor variances of a few thousandths occurring at random do not have a large impact on the rod actions as a whole. . I would suggest you should RESPECT the man (as well as EC Powell and others) who made contributions to providing us all with tools to understand and continue to develop taper design (Hexrod being one, a powerful and easily applied tool, I believe based on Garrison's math). Rod makers history, value guide and general discussion, Link to Orvis Database by Greg Reynolds, Link to EC Powell's Mechanics of fly casting. First found in the United States in 2014 in southeastern Pennsylvania, spotted lanternfly has spread rapidly through the eastern states. For the tip section use the smaller number and for the butt section use the larger number. 20 .245 .130 Remember that respect and civility is the goal of this board. The American Museum of Fly Fishing is the steward of the history, traditions, and practices of the sport of fly fishing and promotes the conservation of its waters. If you read this Bob, I would be interested to know how you choose your tip dimension and rise? There seems to be a misunderstanding about the results this yields. by dkrismer 06/12/16 20:36, Post Interesting thoughts on line weight and the first 20", I will have to roll that one around in my head for awhile. Measure over original varnish. (Mark Wendt), I checked the several places that I usually look for tapers and they all had the swell starting at 80". Edwards Edwards #25 Quad - 7ft 4wt light tip . However, a straight line taper will create a rod in which the angle of deflection will increase from the butt to the tip at linear (constant)rate. (If memory serves me right Tony Young sells step down ferrules for Dickerson rods, so you may try that. 35 0.162 166451 It's why I'm fussy about ring weight on the tips of rods below #6. As you got more line out the rod would flex deeper into the shaft. I would be very interested in hearing what you have to say about the differences between the two tapers. Here's a classic Winston from the Hexrod taper archive. Consider one or the other of these two if your rod maker intends to fit the rod with step down ferrules, since there is a .010" step down across the ferrule stations. So the question - I have been trying to define the specific characteristic that each basic deviation from the SLT imparts to the action of the rod. Just basic principles that have been around for years. This is the equivalent of a Powell B-8.70, a bit slower than the Powell B-9. The tips look essentially the same. I have thougt of the 8013, as a 5 weight. How would this feel? (Bob Norwood). I cannot come up with an application for a 7'6''#5, with its inherent disadvantages for roll casting. (Lee Koch), I primarily use RodDNA for my taper selection. Halstead. 10 .310 .159 15 .128 .274 The 1952 Dickerson is similar to the GW except it's a 5/6 wt. I will be bringing it to Korea next trip to go for trout here in the eastern mountains. I have a tough time roll casting over about 65' with any rod, no matter how long or limber. I own a Thramer 6611 and 7012 HB tapers, both with Thramer cosmetics and they are both awesome rods. As we all know, rods can often cast line weights one up and down from their designated ones. 35 0.1695 The trouble is, really, that I know there are people out there who really do understand taper design, it's getting them to talk to us about it thats the problem. Can someone explain what this means and what number should I use. 1 2 3 If you move it up to the mid section you might add a hinge that gets involved in the normal cast.. which is usually to be avoided. I've cast the original and it is one strong casting rod and deserving of the Guide Special nomenclature. 65 0.248 134403 I would also like to know why a Dickerson 7613 taper imparts those characteristics. Maybe they were off a little but I have no reason to believe that if his 13 die were 13.5 he would not have marked it thusly. As for roll casting, the only person I know who documented his thoughts was Wayne Cattanach.. Conversely, the .202 is at the low end of fit for a 14/64.
