Legendary Payne 102 taper delivers medium power for balanced casting efficiency and fish-fighting control
18% nickel silver ferrules ensure seamless energy transfer between sections with corrosion resistance
Premium Tokin bamboo hexagon construction, pre-finished with water-based varnish (unfinished option available)
Progressive flex pattern excels in mountain stream environments with 8ft length for tight-quarter accuracy
Versatile 5wt rating handles dry fly presentations to streamer fishing across varied water conditions
This Payne 102 taper bamboo blank embodies decades of dry fly fishing wisdom refined for modern anglers. The medium power rating (5wt) provides optimal sensitivity for detecting subtle trout takes while retaining backbone to battle feisty bass. Its moderate action creates smooth loading characteristics that shine when delivering size 16 dries to rising fish or working streamers through pocket water.
Crafted from hand-selected Tokin bamboo using six-strip construction, the blank features precision-milled 18% nickel silver ferrules for flawless section alignment. The water-based varnish finish protects the natural bamboo fibers while allowing customization (unvarnished option for DIY enthusiasts). At 8ft in 2pc configuration, it navigates overgrown banks effortlessly yet maintains enough length for effective line mending.
