71/2 4 to 5 line 3 piece 2 tips bag & tube Rod is built on the Payne 198 taper a all time favorite Dry fly rod The workmanship is excellent The nickle silver super z type ferrules. And other components are first class One tip has a clear saftey wrap 3/4” long It is 4” back from the tip top I have looked it over carefully I do not think it will cause any problem We are pricing rod as a one tip rod. I have lawn cast it And like it with both 4&5 Wt. lines. This is a lot of rod for the money.
