Payne 96
by Payne
5" cigar grip and 4" reel seat cork. The taper was provided me months ago by Rich Colo taken from a rod he woned. The provided guide spacing didn't seem to add up for me but I tried to figure it out as best I could. I assume the numbers are over varnish but don't know. Some numbers are extralated because of the guides.`I'd use .312 for the last 3 inces of the but but hey that's me. M-D
