PAYNE - Abercrombie & Fitch marked fly rod
Here's a nice Payne bamboo fly rod for your consideration. It is 9 1/2 footer, 3 piece, with 2 tips and weighs approximately 7 ounces. All pieces are of equal length. The rod has an up locking aluminum reel seat with wood insert. The reel seat screw is stamped "PAYNE, REG. U.S. PAT. OFF." on one side and "Sold by ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CO., New York" on the other side. The cork handle measures about 6 1/2" long and made up of 3/8" wide rings. The rod is sound, but the varnish is tacky with fine age lines. It is also missing the hook keeper ring and possibly one or two guides may be re-wrapped as their color does not quite match (snake guide on butt section & 1st guide following on the mid-section). The rod includes a cloth bag. Unfortunately the tag is missing from the bag. Everything is housed in an aluminum tube with an Abercrombie & Fitch rod care notice glued to it. The Red notice has some damage. If you have further questions about this rod, I would be glad to try and answer them.
