Payne 98 Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4

Payne 98 Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4A very nice Payne model 98 bamboo fly rod, 7', 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. The rod weighs 3 ounces on my scale. Pleasing medium fast action. Excellent original condition with very few signs of use and the sections are nice and straight. The grip shows very minimal hand soiling and the reel seat hardware and ferrules retain all of their oxidation. Vaguely spiralish node placement with the characteristic chestnut cane color. Wrapped brown

You can take the Abel Supreme Vise with you

Protective cellophane jacket
