Yes, the OD of the male ferrule is the easiest to measure with any micrometer.

As to the 8 1/2-foot Wright & McGill Water Seals--the FA I have is a significantly heavier/stronger rod than the corresponding Granger 8 1/2-foot rods. It has 12/18 ferrules and I believe it to be a "cut down" Granger 9050 taper.

The 8642 was the only catalogued 8 foot-6 inch Granger taper produced in both the Goodwin Granger and Wright & McGill eras.

That said, some time ago, IIRC, a Forum member reported owning a Granger 8'6" rod with 10/16 ferrules which would make it a more delicate taper than the standard 8642 (11/17 ferrules).

In my 35+ years of collecting and fishing Granger rods I have not seen such a rod, but that doesn't mean it doesn't... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Flyman615) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/107381 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 19:24:31 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/107376/t/Granger-8642-.html#reply-107376
