A Sisters Oregon Payne bamboo fly rod, 7'9", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for what feels to me like a #4. Weighs 3.2 ounces. This appears to be a modern version of the earlier Payne Parabolic model. New, unfished condition. The cane is blondish, quite a bit lighter than the original Paynes, though the nodes are spaced in a similar style. I suspect the nodes were belt sanded. The main wraps are brown with yellow edges with an additional edge of black at the keeper and ferrules. The step ferrules are oxidized. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a medium cigar profile. The all cork seat has an oxidized ring similar to the original and a formed nickel silver pocket cap that's a bit different than the original. The rod packs into a light tan cloth bag (no hangtag) and the rod tube is slightly larger than the original (measuring about 1 5/8" in diameter) and has brass fittings and a silver and blue Payne sticker.
