Payne Model 205 Fly Rod 8'6" 3/2 #5/6
$ 1,950

A nice EF Payne bamboo fly rod, model 205, 8'6", 3-piece, 2-tip for what feels like a #5 or #6. 5.2 ounces. Medium fast action. Refinished in very good usable condition. One tip is a replacement as it is glued with resorcinol glue and is a 3 up node pattern. The rod has seen little use since the refinish and there is little indication of guide wear. The grip is 6" long and shaped to a medium cigar. It has been cleaned and is somewhat ridgy on account of this. The reel seat is a Payne favorite of mine (I have even made some copies of the seat) a downlocking screwlock with an aluminum acorn and a nickel silver pocket pinned to the acorn barrel. The screw barrel is 10 threads per inch and the nut has a neat little finely knurled bit of decoration trim and is raised for easy grasping. Unfortunately pliers have been used on the knurl at some point. Comes in the original bag (but no hang tag) and original tube. A hard-to-find Payne model in good usable condition.

Shipping Information
- 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.
