Payne Parabolic Bamboo Fly Rod 7'9" 2/2 #5 6'4" Winston catalog from 1976An EF Payne Parabolic model fly rod, 7'9", 2 piece, 2 tip, built for a #5 line. 4 ounces. Very good used condition. All full length and nice, tight ferrules. The rod was revarnished by Walt Carpenter leaving intact the original wraps and guides. The rod looks to be late 1950's to early 1960's vintage as it has the perfection stripping guide and the finial ferrule plug but the pocket cap has the "Sold by Abercrombie & Fitch" rather than the "Made For"
