Bob has recently done some work on the rod

On short notice we had to use a point-and-shoot camera for these instead of our usual professional set up

The rod is named for the River Itchen

The reel still functions smoothly and most of the bronzing / lacquer still remains on the reel

Weighs 5 oz

The varnish shows some use marks

having been masterfully restored by Steve Blake

The rod features a flat black blank with oxblood colored wraps and beige tipping

An excellent Payne 400 series salmon rod
