EF Payne Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 3/2 #5 14' A near mint Bogdan 400A nice EF Payne bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. There is no hang tag but likely a model 206. Excellent original condition with some sign of modest use, just the start of casting cracks at the ferrule wraps and a hint of wear to the inner snake guides. The grip has been cleaned. The varnish just below the stripper is slightly hazy indicating the area has been sanded with very fine sandpaper most likely to eliminate splash
