Payne 9' Model 400 Dry Fly Salmon rod

<< Back to Vintage Rods & Reels


Here is another fine example of Jim Payne's work. A 9' single handed, Dry Fly Salmon rod.  Believed to be a model 400.

This 3pc, 2 tip rod is full length, and has an Agate stripping guide, beautiful Brown silk wraps, tipped with Red, and a screw locking reel seat with the Payne logo, and a #20 on the reel seat plug.

This rod comes with the original bag, which has a hole in the butt pocket, and brass capped aluminum tube, which has tape that is marked "9 ft 7 oz Dry Fly Salmon".

Rod has had some use, but was very well taken care of. The rod has had a few guides re-wrapped at some point, and the mid section has some minor bag marks in the varnish, that could likely be polished out.
