A nice Payne fly rod, 9' 3-piece, 2-tip for what feels to me like a #6 line. Medium to faster action. Should be a very good caster. Professionally refinished excellent varnish. Wrapped brown with red edges and a band of yellow and purple at the keeper and male ferrules. High arch snake guides and an agate stripper. 5 1/2" long cigar grip has been cleaned leaving it somewhat rough. Varnished walnut slide band seat. While the oxidation to the ferrules is very good that of the cap and ring is worn in places. "Payne" roller die-stamped on the cap and "reg us pat off" on the opposite side stamped "Sold by Abercrombie & Fitch Co, New York". The original olive colored poplin bag is missing the hang tag. The brass tube cap has a grey felt, and the E. F. Payne Rod Co shipping label is taped to the tube.
