Payne 97 Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #3
$ 3,950
2122
A nice EF Payne Model 97 bamboo fly rod, 7', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for what feels like a #3. Late model "Made for Abercrombie & Fitch". The action is a sweet medium to medium slow. The rod weighs 2.8 ounces on my scale. The rod has been refinished by dipping and then wrapped afterwards. The stripping guide is non-original and the tip top is a large hoop replacement. Brown main wraps with yellow edges and what looks like the black edge at the keeper and male ferrules. The ferrule fits are fine and retain 99% of the oxidation. The rod is straight. The grip is 5 1/2 inches long and shaped to a medium cigar profile which has been sanded lightly to remove hand soiling. The reel seat is a cap and ring which retains 99% of its oxidation over a Spanish cedar spacer. The non-original bag has no hang tag. The tube is original with the Payne data sticker and gray felt in the brass top.

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.
