EF Payne Model 222 Bamboo Fly Rod 11' 3/2 #8 Gary Siemer Likely a late 1920's model

Likely a late 1920's model but professionally refinished in the 1960's judging by the straight-tube tip tops

The action is quite swift on the faster side of medium-fast thanks in part to the swelled butt

Used but in full original condition

Excellent condition with original bag and tube

With light use

EF Payne Model 222 Bamboo Fly Rod 11' 3/2 #8 Gary Siemer Likely a late 1920's modelA nice EF Payne model 222 salmon rod, 11', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for what feels like a #8 line. The rod has had a nice refinish. Medium action. 13. 3 ounces on my scale. Excellent varnish with brown wraps with yellow edges and purple bands at the keeper and male ferrule. One tip has a short clear wrap. #12 SRMC stripper and black snake guides. Oxidized step ferrules which fit snugly. The rod is very straight. The front grip is 8 1 4" long and
