Default Taper

Hi there,
The destruction-testing we've done has shown that any standard taper weakens nylon a bit. I have yet to test the West Coast (Frisco) taper, but you know, even if it came out well, I'd be disinclined to use it, just because it looks so, well, gawmy. If you are going to taper, do a real taper.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
