{"product_id":"payne-model-98-7-2-2-4wt-bamboo-rod","title":"Payne - Model 98, 7' 2\/2 4wt Bamboo Rod","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor sale here is a superb Payne 98, 7' 2\/2 4wt bamboo rod. Excellent original condition, featuring caramel toned bamboo, oxidized steel snake guides and Perfection stripping guide. Blued ferrules (11\/64) fit perfectly, and the bluing remains very dark. All sections are straight \u0026amp; full length. Skeleton cork grip \u0026amp; reel seat with blued cap \u0026amp; ring hardware. The pocketed butt cap retains the Payne stamping on one side and \"Sold by Abercrombie \u0026amp; Fitch - New York\" on the opposite. 2 7\/8oz stated \u0026amp; actual weight. Action on the medium side of medium fast, a wonderful dry fly rod. Best with a DT4 but it also casts a DT5 quite nicely, especially at short range. A survivor in all respects; the rod has seen sparing use and remains in fantastic shape. The only note I have is that the tube is long enough to accommodate a Payne ferrule plug, but none is present. I strongly suspect this rod was delivered with a plug and it was lost along its way. It packs into the original poplin bag with intact hang tag and brass capped tube with red A\u0026amp;F label affixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e***Payment by check or wire is preferred – please select one of these methods at checkout and we will follow up with payment details.
