Payne 206L Bamboo Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #4

1113


A nice EF Payne Model 206L fly rod, 9', 3-piece, 2-tip, built for a #4 line (I might even fish it with a #3). Slow full flexing action. 4.7 ounces. An excellent restoration job done on this rod by Steve Blake with superb varnish and all the original hardware and guides. Wrapped brown with red edges and an extra band of yellow and purple at the keeper and male ferrules. All full length and with excellent ferrule fits. The rod is straight. The grip is a blunt cigar 5 1/2" long. It has been cleaned but without damaging it at all or leaving ridging. The reel seat is a walnut cap and ring. The butt cap is stamped with the older "EF Payne, Rod, EF Payne Rod Co, Makers" stamp in a cartouche. The olive poplin bag is missing the hang tag and the bag originally went with an 8'6" rod. The rod tube is an early original with the grey felt in the cap.

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.
