Payne 101 Fly Rod 7'6 2/2 #5

The action is on the faster side of medium. A 1950s-1960s era rod in near mint condition. This beautiful rod looks to me to have been cast 1-2 dozen times. A bit of cracking to the female ferrule wrap, some micro brassing to the inner guides, and some minute hand soiling to the grip is the only evidence of use.

The wraps are brown but about 1 shade lighter than I am used to seeing. There is a band of orange and dark purple at the keeper and male ferrules only. The keeper is one flat right.
