The Bumblepuppy was an original Theodore Gordon creation

Detroit- Mich" Oxidized step ferrule

Five feet nine inches

Includes a yellow rod bag modeled after those used in the 1980's with hang tag as well as a fine tube with brass fittings

The flies were tied by Howells himself - they are in exceptional condition and very well tied as Howells was a very accomplished tyer

and that is what provides a very smooth action with this rod

For sale here is a leather reel case for a Vom Hofe or Zwarg size 6/0 salmon reel

Paul and his work are still missed by many

This is a rare variation not often seen

A prior owner engraved the back of the box and well as labeled some of the clip rows internally

the protective plastic cap over the gear is still in place

The negatives are as follows: as with many Paynes of this vintage the varnish has bag imprints in areas and there are no ferrule plugs and no plug for the bottom of the reelseat when the fighting butt is not in use
