The Parabolic 7' 6" is rarely seen, especially in the light version of the model. The Parabolic 7' 9" is a powerful 5wt able to quickly and effortlessly pick up line.

EF Payne – 102L
This is an 8' 0" 2/2 4wt. weighing 3.50 oz. Most 102Ls have extremely delicate tips in the 0.0400 range making them a 3wt. This 102L has 0.0600 tips and is a 4wt. This is equivalent to an early 100 or later 100L. In my opinion, this is the most practical 102L I have handled.
