Payne 204 Bamboo Rod 8'6" 3/2 #5

VFT8050


For sale here is a beautiful Payne Model 204 bamboo rod -- 8'6 3/2 5 wt weighing 4 3/8 oz. Rod is in excellent+ to near mint condition, ALL ORIGINAL and also does not appear to have been fished much. All sections are full length and straight. All of the hardware is blued and in superb cosmetic condition. Blued cap and ring over a gorgeous cedar insert. Chestnut brown thread wraps with black trim. Includes original cloth bag with hang tag and labeled aluminum tube. A Payne collector rod indeed!

I have some correspondence between the current owner of this rod (my consignment customer) who purchased the rod from Kruh back in 1980. He has not fished it since. Kruh comments back then, "it is a sure prize for the "unrefinished" fanatic."

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.
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.
