Haven't heard about Payne rods in a long time. My grandfather had a 3 piece 9 footer back when I was a kid. He let me try it a few times but it was too long for me to handle (or appreciate) at the time. Years after he passed I asked my grandmother about it. She said it was probably with some of his stuff she threw away (insert tears here).
Beautifully crafted rods but like vintage guitars, they only exist in my dreams.
I wish you luck selling it. Hopefully, you have it listed elsewhere as well.
