Payne Model 95 Bamboo Rod 6' 2/1 #3 13' One of the first things

One of the first things I checked on this rod was the reel seat spacer -- made of tiger stripe maple -- whose amber color came from a heat-treating process and which marks it as one of the rods that I worked on myself at Leonard fairly early in my rodmaking career

Comes with original box and neoprene reel pouch

as well as the varnish over the script

Also comes with its original Holland & Holland leather case

The rod features a deep maroon blank with crimson wraps and gold tipping at the winding check

Therefore, we are pricing this as a one tip rod. Moderately tempered cane with chestnut silks and gold tipping. Gold and purple at the winding check and male ferrules. Blued guides. Ring hook keeper.
