Payne 204 Fly Rod 8'6" 3/2 #5 8' although slightly softA nice Payne 204 3 piece, 2 tip rod a medium action for a #4 line or slowish #5. All sections full length. Ferrule fits are excellent. Varnish generally very good except for a 2" section of bag imprint on the lower midsection. All sections are very straight. Brown wraps with black edges. Agate stripper. The cigar grip shows moderate to good use patina, a few minor digs due to tip guides while in the tube. The slide band reel seat is Spanish cedar and
