Ever find yourself having to go back and look up the specifications for a fly rod model? It happens to us too. Here we've started what we hope will be an easy "one stop shop" to check rod specifications for models from a number of classic makers. This is a work in progress but we'll be continuing to add to it over time so please check back in frequently to see what is new. We hope it's helpful!

Payne Fly Rod Models & Sizes​

Payne rod models were fairly consistent over the years, though several models underwent changes from the early Payne to later Payne periods (usually becoming slightly lighter). Since they did not have line designations and since many old Paynes are missing their hang tags, it can often be difficult to determine the precise model. These numbers should be used as a general guide. If you are looking for a particular Payne model, make sure to check out our Payne fly rods in stock.

Paul Young Fly Rod Models (in progress)

Paul Young made many special order and one-off fly rods so his catalog should only be seen as loosely capturing his total offerings. And many models were offered with slightly different specifications. For additional information, particularly having to do with Paul Young serial numbers, please see Robert Golder's excellent and comprehensive PHY database here. If you are looking for a particular model, make sure to check out our page of Paul Young fly rods in stock.
