Re Payne 101. Martha Marie and Sir D - Bob Norwood

Jim;

Harry's right, the Sir D is a nice rod, but I think the Payne 100H would
make a good three piece rod also. Just use the taper in rodmakers and change
the
ferrules to 11/63 @ 30" and 16/64 @ 60", then make the 35" station 0.172 and
40" station 0.185.
It should make a nice 5/6 wt rod.
