Payne Model 200 Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5 [SALE PENDING] 7'11" We've seen these lighter brownA nice EF Payne model 200 fly rod, 8', 3 piece, 2 tips, built for a #5. 3. 8 ounces. Fairly full flexing action. Rated for a #5 line I wonder whether you could speed it up a bit with a #4 as well. The rod condition is used but in good original condition. There is some wear to the inner snake guides and a bit of grooving to the tip tops. The varnish is excellent, I suspect it may have been polished as there are small chips evident to the ferrule
