For sale here is a E.F. Payne Model 208 9′ 3pc light dry fly bamboo rod for a #6 line. All appears original. Full-length sections with original bag and tube with nice Payne label. This rod has an uplocking screw-lock reel seat with Payne's standard Spanish cedar spacer. Wraps are chestnut brown with red tipping. Red agate stripping guide. Grip is soiled from honest use. As shown in the photos, there is a "145" scratched into the bottom of the butt cap. Reel seat components and spacer in excellent condition. Bluing on the ferrules shows wear. All wraps structurally sound but a few are displaying slight fraying. Varnish still excellent. 10/16 ferrules. 5 1/4 oz. 6" grip. Good ferrule fit. This rod is ready to fish again and does not require any repairs.

Shipping Information

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.

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.
