This link goes to a rod I built - Originally designed for a 5wt, when it was done, it's definately a 4wt, I like ot with a DT4 Thebault silk line. Also use an older Airflo 7000 series 3/4wf WF floatng line. Ferrules or 15 and 10 Pete |

If I'm not mistaken, there is a very old version of the Payne 198 that ends up being a 3/4wt rod. Later versions of the taper are much heftier, however, so
you'd want to be sure you got the old, light version.
