Ed Payne Fly Rod 8'9" 3/2 #3/4
$ 2,000
An 8'9" very early Ed Payne, 3-piece 2-tip built with a slow wet fly action for a #3 or #4 line. This rod was refinished by me in the early '80s. Done in chinese red with black edges and chinese red intermediates. Leonard catskill-like signature wraps over light colored cane. An extra fine tapered grip. Rolled and soldered ring on the all metal seat. Stamped on the pocket cap "E.F. Payne Maker, Highland Mills N.Y." There are a lot of early Leonard influences to be seen in this rod, including the grip, check, and wrap colors. This is by far the earliest Payne I have ever seen. Tip tube and outer canvas bag. Large Modern aluminum tube for extra protection.

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.
