This taper was initially developed as a variant of one of my salmon rods

paying homage to its FE Thomas pedigree

Per Brandin Model 834-2 DF 8'3" 2/2 #4 8'9" This taper was initially developedFor sale here is a Per Brandin hollow built six strip (hex) bamboo rod. 8'3 for a DT4 line. The rod weighs 3 1 8 oz. Two sections with two tips. Made in 2005. From Per's description of this taper, "At 8'3" and a #4 line, this rod fills the need for a longer rod for spring creeks and smaller flies, but still with a very positive action. It has become the rod of choice for me and several other very experienced anglers on rivers such as the Henry's Fork
