SRG Attendees,
TaperQuest
will return again in 2016 with a new format we haven’t tried before.
The project will include a competition for best casting rod. While we
are introducing a rod building contest for the first time, the
underlying theme is the same as the Southern Rodbuilders Gathering, fun
and education. We are hoping that the introduction of the contest will
increase the level of both the fun and educational value of TaperQuest.
Please remember that the purpose of TaperQuest
is to explore new rods that many of us haven’t seen before and not to
revisit the same rods that show up every year. Let’s not end up with 20
rods from builders whose names begin with D or PY. This is the time to
try something new. There is a long list of choices attached to help
you find something to build.
Also remember that TaperQuest
is about sharing rod tapers with the rest of the SRG attendees. To
enter the contest, just send me the taper of the rod you are going to
build so we can put it into the booklet.
We hope you will join
us for another journey into a whole new world of rods and tapers. See
you all in October and we hope you will bring an entry for TaperQuest 2016.
