EF Payne Model 110 Bamboo Fly Rod 9' 2/2 #8/9

A superb EF Payne Model 110 bamboo fly rod, 9', 2-piece, 2-tip, that's built for what feels to me like an #8 or #9 line. The rod weighs 5.9 ounces. Excellent original condition, late 1950's vintage, with some modest cosmetic ferrule wrap cracks and minor guide wear. The ferrule are tight and the rod is straight. The cane is flamed with the typical node spacing. The original varnish is superb as you would expect from Payne. Perfection stripper and bronze snake guides. The main wraps are brown with red edges at all wraps and an extra band of yellow and purple at the keeper and male ferrules. The step ferrules are oxidized jet black and retain 99% of their original oxidation and come with a ferrule plug.

The varnished spacer is Spanish cedar. This rod was not built with a detachable fighting butt. The r
