Payne Model 200L Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #3/4

2009


An EF Payne Model 200L bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #3 or #4. Slower action. Weighs 3.6 ounces on my scale. Recently refinished with a wrap color slightly lighter than the original and the stripping guide doesn't match what the original would have had. Fresh bronze guides and the first hint of cosmetic casting cracks at the ferrule wraps. The ferrules are oxidized and the fit is tight. Very good varnish job. The grip is 5" long and shaped to a slim cigar profile, and it has a bit of ridging from a prior cleaning. The seat has an oxidized cap and ring over what looks like a walnut spacer. The cap has the later die stamp "Payne" in a cartouche and a "Reg Us Pat Off" underneath. No hang tag with the olive color poplin bag. The rod packs into an Arne Mason brass and leather tube and also comes with the original tube.

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.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
