I searched my files and notes I have of Baird Fioster but cannot find a butt taper for the eight foot tips that you believe are Baird Foster's creations. The butt ends of the tips call for a 13/64 ferrule (.20313} despite the fact that the upper and middle sections of the tips are practically similar to a strong eight foot rod, which would require a 14/64 (.2187}.

Since the taper closely resembles Garrison's designs, I suggest that you try to match the tips... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Think Bamboo) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/131849 Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:05:22 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/130074/t/Baird-Foster-rods-.html#reply-130074 feeds@yuku.com (bluejayee) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/130074 Fri, 20 Mar 2009 01:49:22 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/129876/t/Baird-Foster-rods-.html#reply-129876

Baird was a friend and follower of Everett Garison where I met him in the early 1970s. This was in Yonkers, NY at Garrison's home. From all indications that I have, Baird got interested in rod building in 1942/1943. He corresponded with Claude M. Kreider (Re: "The Bamboo Rod"} prior to making Everett Garrison his mentor and instructor.
