Just for kicks, I checked out one site that sells E. F. Payne rods. I know nothing about fly fishing and have never tried it, but it's stunning to see what these rods cost. Most rods appear to average about $3,000 with one going for $5,400. Sheesh. I guess they're the Cadillac of the sport and I can only imagine what collectible rods go for. They've been in business since 1898.
