Jack just got back in town today so I'm sorry about not getting to read your post sooner. I have no idea what taper it is but the man who sold it to me has made it for light weight tippets 2 lbs. thru 6 lbs. tippets. I purchased these for my Christmas gift Santa is bringing me, a 2 wt rod and reel combo.
Shh!, don't let on I know about the gift. Now all I need is a nice 8 wt. outfit and I'm all set. I have a birthday in March hmmm.
