$ 1,750

A nice EF Payne bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #5 or #6. 4.6 ounces. Powerful medium action. Based on the specs I suspect this is a Model 205, but there is no hang tag to confirm. All original and full length. The ferrule fits are good and the rod is perfectly straight. There is some wear to the inner guides and the varnish is only in fair condition. While not soft to the touch, there is considerable bag imprint, though thankfully no areas of out-and-out bare cane. The wraps are brown with black edges and an extra band of yellow and purple at the keeper and the male ferrules. Agate stripping guide and high arch HSS snake guides. The step ferrules retain 95% of their original oxidation. The 5 1/2" long medium cigar grip has unfortunately been cleaned leaving it somewhat ridgy. The rod is outfitted with a walnut slide band seat retaining 90% of the oxidation. The butt cap is stamped "Payne" "Reg Us Pat Off" and on the reverse "Sold by, HD Folsom Arms Co, New York". The poplin green bag is original but missing the hang tag. The tube is original but missing the felt in the cap.

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.
