Payne Model 206 Bamboo Rod 9' 3/2 #5

VFT4104


For sale here is a pre-1925 Jim Payne Model 206 -- 9′ 3/2 for a 5 weight line. The rod weighs 4.55 oz. and the action is slow wet fly. Cap and ring with Spanish cedar spacer. Red agate stripping guide. Wraps are brown with maroon edges as well as purple edges at the keeper and male ferrules. The rod was restored by Walt Carpenter in 1989 using proper silks and guides. Since then, the first guide below the tip top on each tip section has been replaced and re-wrapped, and is in need of another re-wrapping. The grip shows slight ridging. Overall excellent condition with all sections full length and reasonably straight. The ferrule sizes are 10/64 & 16/64 and the ferrule fit is good, but not excellent. Replacement Leonard bag and tube.

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.

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.
