For sale here is a Payne Model 96 in excellent plus condition. 6 1/2 feet in length with two sections and two tips. The rod weighs 2.55 oz. Oxidized cap and ring reel seat over spanish cedar. Light brown silks tipped yellow with additional purple tipping at winding check and male ferrules. We've seen these lighter brown silks on a few Payne rods but cannot be certain they are original and might be possible replacements. All sections are full length and straight and the 9/64 ferrule fit is buttery smooth. Ruby red agate stripping guide. Cigar grip 5 3/8" in length with only light soiling. Nice medium fast dry fly action for a 3 or 4 weight line. Complete with original bag and tube with label 95% intact as well as the hang tag.
