Payne 96 Fly Rod 6'6" 2/2 #4 - Stan Bogdan's Personal Fly Rod 8 Weight lack of an incised lineAn excellent E. F. Payne model 96 fly rod, 6'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, built for a #4 line. 2. 6 oz. #10 ferrule. A delightful fast action #4 in near mint condition. This is also the personal rod of famed reel maker Stan Bogdan. Only a tiny bit of brassing to the inner snake guides, a minute bit of edgewear to the cap and ring, and a small reel foot impression and scratch on the Spanish cedar seat keeps this rod out of the mint category. Flamed and oven
