Posts: 16 10/24/2007 17:15	Tags : None I will be releasing a new version of *RodDNA* soon and would like to include as many new tapers as possible for everyone to share so if you have any tapers you would like to submit, please email them to tapers@highsierrarods.com. Any format is ok, just either copy and paste them into an email or attach the taper file, in any format. Even if your taper exists in the current RodDNA database, it might be slightly different and should be included. Also, please include any ancillary information such as: guide sizes and spacing, tip top and ferrules types and sizes, color of wraps, tipping etc. style and size of grip, type of reel seat and wood insert, etc. Alternatively, you could enter them in RodDNA and submit them from there directly. Also I would like to thank all who have already submitted tapes. Please email me with any questions. Regards, --Larry ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- in vino veritas High Sierra Rod Company / RodDNA http://www.highsierrarods.com http://www.roddna.com tapers@highsierrarods.com

Posts: 307 11/01/2007 09:18 Maker of Quads	Steve be careful offering your tapers publicly. Zhus rod company could soon be producing rods with your name on them. After the fiasco I've seen AJ Thramer go through I would burn my shop down before I'd publish a taper. Best, Bill

Those who buy Chinese rods would probably not buy a quality bamboo rod from any of us, at least initially. I have seen quite a few for repair but I won't touch any of them. They will eventually make quality rods for the money, and will eventually figure out how to put the ferrules on straight, etc. Fortunately, most customers want quality bamboo rods and are willing to wait for one. I just noticed the other day that some Chinese bamboo rod company registered my name (highsierrarods) in China and some other Asian countries. I did complain to the Chinese Internet domain registrar, but they wouldn't do anything. As to tapers in RodDNA, I can certainly try to restrict any users in China from using it by their IP addresses, but they will eventually find a copy from some other country. Please let me know your thoughts on this, as it would not be that difficult to do. For all those who posted tapers, please let me know if you have changed your mind and don't want them included in the next release of RodDNA. Please email me on this email account only: tapers@highsierrarods.com Tight lines, --Larry

Please let me know your thoughts on this, as it would not be that difficult to do. Larry, I don't think it would make a difference. They must have reps here in the US and it would be a simple matter for that rep to send them RodDNA and a saved copy of the models file. Of course they would have to deal with that annoying "please connect to the internet" message......... Easier yet, I wouldn't be surprised if the folks in the US are the ones calling the shots on tapers. They could simply send the tapers they want built in an email. Jim.

It's a great resource and I really appreciate all your hard work to try and make it better. If I come across any appropriate rod tapers that aren't in the database I'll enter them directly and save you the work. Best regards, -John
