Payne, E.F. – Model 197 Summers CoDescription Particulars Marked 198 on the original tag, the specs for this rare 1930s model later became the 197, and the 198 became a faster, slightly more substantial taper. For many Payne enthusiasts, the 197 taper is the holy grail. This is a 7' 6" 3 2, weighing 3. 25 oz. All sections are full length and straight. This rod features medium tempered cane with Payne dark brown wraps tipped yellow. Blued cap and sliding band over Spanish cedar spacer.
