Payne, E.F. - Model 198 Fading to the bluing onDescription Particulars A very difficult to source Payne Model 198, 7' 6" 3 2, weighing 3. 35 oz. This rod throws a DT4 and a WF5 weight line equally well taking on a slightly different personality with each. Cap and sliding band over spanish cedar spacer. Rebuilt by Don Schroeder a few years back. Size 14 64 and 9 64 ferrules. At times they feel slightly loose. Dons recommendation is to use paraffin wax sparingly on the male ferrules. All sections
