Payne 95 6' 3/4 wt
by Payne
Here's the Payne 95. I got this from Carlos Santos about three years ago. Carlos measures a rod with the tip of each section = to zero rather than in 5" increments with the rod assembled.The rod was measured over varnish. I've not built this so I have no opinion as to its action. The Payne catalogs only describe it as a 6' DT3 or 4 wt.

This rod has a "Parabolic (butt-flex)" stress profile. Stress varies significantly across the rod. Some sections work much harder than others, creating a pronounced action character. The peak stress is above the safe threshold for bamboo — this taper may be at risk of developing a permanent set under heavy loading.
