A nice refinished 214 Payne fly rod, 9'6", 3-piece, 2-tip built for what feels to me like a #6 or #7 line. Medium fast action. A very nice refinish job and the rod looks practically uncast since then. Based on the specifications I'm 95% sure that this is a 214 model and have listed it as such. Wrapped brown with black edges and a band of yellow and a band of purple at the keeper and male ferrules. The ferrules are oxidized black as well as the front cork check. The keeper is one flat right. Agate stripper. The 6 1/2" western-style grip is somewhat eroded from use and cleaning. The reel seat is an uplocking screw lock with a walnut spacer. The screw nut is stamped "Payne" in the cartouche and underneath "Reg U.S. Pat Off". The reverse side is stamped "Sold by, Abercrombie & Fitch Co., New York". Good ferrule fit and very straight. Comes with the correct olive colored poplin bag without the original hang tag. The Payne tube has lost the felt in the brass cap.
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
