A 6'9" 3-piece 3-tip Hiram Hawes for a #3 or #4 line

The level of skill exhibited in the finish and appointments of this rod are far above that exhibited by nearly anyone else you will come across

Ferrules are a truncated swiss design with a collar on the males which sports knurling and delicate trim marks much favored by me at that time

Payne 107 Fly Rod 8'10" 2/2 #6/7 9'6" Dark brown sueded leatherHere we have a Payne 107 model 2 piece 2 tip, 810 in length and weighing 5 3 8 oz. It is built for a #6 or #7 line. This is a rare model indeed. In fact when I asked a friend who is among the most knowledgable Paynes aficionados I know, he confessed to having seen only one in his entire life. This rare model dates from the 1950s and was only cataloged for one or two years. It has a nice fast progressive action, very good rod for big water. Wrapped
