Measures 5 1/2 ' long. 2 pieces with canvas pouch carrying bag. No tube. I do have an extra aluminum tube avaialble but it is not a brass capped payne tube. This rod is in nice shape but need a small amount of restoration. One agate standard line guide is missing. Secondly the male ferrule looks to have been pulled with pliers in the past buggering the ferrule, thus needing some smoothing, revarnishing and rethreading. The cork handle is all original and has seen usage , but is still respectable. On the handle it is marked " Payne " and sold by " Von Lengerke & Antoine of Chicago ". With just a small amount of restoration this rod is a really sharp unit. Tough to find one in any condition. Scarce. NINE pictures in total. Price: $400.00 USD
