Yes Terry........not sure if very many double tapers are made now?
____________________________________
Two old fishing buddies, Chuck VonGeldern (CDF&G) and Chuck Campana (CA Dept of Boat and Water Ways), both made their own
custom weight forward floating lines. They would buy a double taper 6 Cortland SL floating fly line.
They would put on a leader and small piece of yarn then cast it out till it felt the right weight.
They would drop it on the grass and go cut the line right at the tip.
Then they would splice on a small diameter Cortland SL floating running line....... 0.031"
This way they could match the line weight to each fly rod and their own casting stroke.
Both are gone now and were both top fly fishers of the Greatest Generation.
