Jeff,
Carlos Santos & I have searched for the mythical Payne banty for the last 
8-10 years and no luck. Hal Bacon might have some insight on this. The banty 
was supposedly a 4'4" two piece. Here are a couple of short,short 
tapers........

Darryl's notes that the grip should go no further than the 50" station or it 
will interfere with the "hinge". 'Designed for short casts in bushy streams 
will cast out to 50' w/ a double-haul"
