VFT1783
For sale here we have the dainty Payne Model 95 -- 6' 2/1 3wt. The rod is in excellent original condition. Both sections are full length and straight. Originally made as a two tip rod but the second tip was lost.
Moderately tempered cane with chestnut silks and gold tipping. Gold and purple at the winding check and male ferrule. Blued guides. Ring hook-keeper. Lightly swelled butt. Petite cigar grip 4 1/4" in length, lightly soiled. Blued cap and ring reel seat over a mortised Spanish Cedar spacer. The spacer shows some small indentations and there is some bluing loss on the hardware. The butt cap reads, "SOLD BY ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO. NEW YORK".
The rod weighs a svelte 1.75 oz. The ferrules are size 8/64 with an excellent fit. The action is medium fast. A terrific brookie or cutthroat rod for those tiny blue lines on the map. Includes original bag with hang tag intact and original tube with canvas cover.
Please note: Paypal is not accepted for international sales. Please use a credit card or choose "Direct Bank Transfer" if you purchase the rod online.
