Payne 206 Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #4/5


A nice Payne 206 with all sections original and full length. Ferrules fit tight and clean. Varnish, although slightly soft, appears to be original. An unusual rod in this line weight and with the slide band seat. The hanging tag states "E7637, 9', 4 1/2 oz., No. 206". Walnut slide band seat has a small patch of varnish loss. Cap states "Payne, Reg. U.S. Pat. Off," The cap has about 60% original oxidation and the slide band about 10%. Grip exhibits soiling and the narrow cork rings are cut to a medium cigar shape. Brown wraps with red edges, yellow and purple at the male ferrules, keeper, and tip-tops. All wraps are in good condition. Agate stripping guide. Varnish has some bag imprint. Medium to medium-slow action. Although this model is typically listed as a #6 I liked it with a DT #4, and you may like it with a #5 as well. Take this rod out and fish it today!

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.
