Powerful medium fast action. Includes the original bag with hang tag intact, the original labeled tube, and a canvas tube cover with a dedicated sleeve for the fighting butt. 

A very desirable and very scarce Payne rod, especially in such fine condition. Don't miss out as you may not see another one like it in a very long time!
