Payne 107 Fly Rod 8'10" 2/2 #6/7 Marc Aroner The reel seat is alsoHere 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
