Description
This rod is a brand new, medium flamed solid built hexagonal 2/2 4wt based on the diminutive Payne 96 taper.  It is a fairly quick action rod that has smooth, fine tips for close work with some extra kick in the butt section for a broader casting range than many light, short rods.  It would make a great do-it-all for anything from plunge-pool type fishing to working tight, brushy streams.  Most of all its an awful lot of fun to cast!

Reel seat is a Shamburg downlocking sliding band made from Duronze with a custom turned redwood burl insert.  A beautiful combo that suits the color scheme and small size of this lovely rod.

Comes with sock and tube.
