EF Payne Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #4 8’5” The knob on the endA very nice EF Payne bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. The rod weighs 3. 2 ounces. Likely a model 100 based on the specifications. A lovely little rod with a great feel, a bit on the faster side of medium. Original condition with no detectable wear to the snakes or guides. No impression on the Spanish cedar reel seat either. There is some edgewear to the cap and ring oxidation and some rubbing to the patina on the grip.
