{"product_id":"payne-8-2-2-6wt-bamboo-rod","title":"Payne - 8' 2\/2 6wt Bamboo Rod","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor sale here is a Payne 8' 2\/2 6wt bamboo rod in fair condition. No hang tag, but it's probably a model 103. The wraps appear to be original, although the rod has received a thick overcoat that shows significant meltdown. The varnish itself isn't sticky to the touch, but you can see slouching \/ orange peel texture throughout. One tip has a 2\" clear wrap near the tip-top covering a node crack. Ferrules fit perfectly and one tip ferrule is missing its moisture plug. The sections are full length and straight. 6\" grip shows light soiling and a hint of ridging. Cap \u0026amp; ring reel seat over Spanish cedar spacer. The butt cap has the Payne stamp on one side and \"Sold by Clapp \u0026amp; Treat\" on the opposite. Action feels authoritative, a medium-fast 6wt. An imperfect Payne 8-footer, worthy of some needed TLC. Sold in the original bag and brass capped tube. \u003cem\u003eThis item comes from Dean Malencik’s generous donation of vintage rods \u0026amp; reels to Trout Unlimited. Proceeds from the sale benefit both the national organization of Trout Unlimited and your local chapters.
