EF Payne Bamboo Fly Rod 13' 3/2

EF Payne Bamboo Fly Rod 13' 3/2A spectacular EF Payne two handed bamboo fly rod, 13', 3 piece, 2 tip. This rod is in mint condition with the paper still on the foregrip.

Canvas overbag with two compartments. The cane features the typical Payne temper and node spacing. Brown main wraps with
