Traditional
There are many superb traditional tapers out there.
Over the years I have had the pleasure of making and fishing  some of them. Paynes, Dickersons, Garrisons and more obscure rods like Carlsen & Vangens, Constables and Walkers.

These traditional tapers are at their best casting dry flies and unweighted nymphs.
Here are few of my favourite traditional tapers.
Garrsion 201: 7ft 3/4wt. A beautiful casting small stream rod and has tremendous feel.
Payne 101: 7ft 6in 5wt. The classic fast traditional taper rod a very good “general purpose” cane rod.
Leonard 6ft 10in 4/5wt. The best of the bunch a lovely example of how good a traditional taper can be.
If you have a taper in mind or are looking at having a traditionl action rod built I am happy to make rods to excisting tapers.
