Payne 197 Fly Rod 7'6" 3/2 #5 8’5” but is neat for theA stunning EF Payne model 197 fly rod, 7'6", 3 piece, 2 tip. Listed on the hang tag as Model 197, 4 1 8 oz, Serial 1632. I think this would cast a #5 nicely. For condition, all I can say is WOW! WOW! Super Mint!

Otherwise, there is no sign of use. No sign of hand
