Payne 9' 3/2 #6/7 - Stan Bogdan's Personal Fly Rod

Payne 9' 3/2 #6/7 - Stan Bogdan's Personal Fly RodAn excellent E. F. Payne fly rod, 9', 3 piece, 2 tip, built for a #6 or #7 line. This was the personal rod of famed reel maker Stan Bogdan. Very powerful action. Ferrule fits are very tight and the rod is pin straight. Weighs 5. 9 ounces on my scale. The rod has been restored in a very professional manner, incredibly well done. In fact, I had a very hard time picking it up, the only signs being that the western style grip has been cleaned and sanded

Designed to handle all three different line types

Sam was an ace machinist and spent some of his time away from rod making as a Tool and Die maker

He is very particular about evaluating rods and what he buys
