Hi Guys
I thought this might be a good place to do a little thinking.Plus a little
discussion on rods. I have a pretty good problem, One of my best friends wants to make me a Split cane rod,Johnny has been making them for a long time and their top notch. My problem is I don't know enough about different tapers to know what I want.This is where you guys that know cane can help.


The cane rod will be fished on water that is about 30 feet wide. I tend to like lighter outfits 3 or 4 wt.and tend to use smaller flies 18 down. I would like to find out some information before I have a discussion about length and taper that I would like to have.

Any comments, Ideas, discussion ,would be appreciated .
1 How long?
2 What weight ?
3 Best taper in your opinion?


Looking forward your comments.

John
