I try to describe rods and reels as completely and accurately as possible; in case of any discrepancy, however, I offer a three day inspection period during which time the item may be returned for a full refund, minus shipping costs. Please note that all customs duties, inspections, etc. are the responsibility of the buyer in international sales. Also please note that all international sales will be shipped insured and declared for the full price paid; please don't ask me to do otherwise. Within the USA I usually ship via registered mail for items valued over about $2000, because of insurance costs; for items below this value I will ship via normal Priority Mail with the United States Postal Service. If UPS is the desired shipper, costs are a bit higher than with the post office. Massachusetts residents must also pay a 6.25% sales tax. Shipping to Europe or Japan is usually in the $100-$175 range if I can ship using the U.S. Postal Service; cost is a bit higher if I need to ship via UPS (the USPS will only insure packages up to a few hundred dollars to many international destinations). Please note that all international packages valued over $2500 must be shipped via UPS. Payment may be made by credit card, paypal, wire transfer, personal check, money order, or international bank check.  I list rods at what I feel are fair prices; I am still willing to at least consider intelligent offers, however, so if you see a rod or reel you really want but can't quite go to the full asking price, please make an offer and it will be respectfully considered.
If interested in any of the rods or other items listed below, please call me at (413)625-6259 or email to per2@comcast.net.

Featured Rod

~Payne 198 restored by Jack Coyle; 7½ ft. 3pc/2 tips. Rod remains in excellent + restored condition. Jack is a good friend and one of the best in refinishing and restoring Paynes, using correct silks and finishes. It has the red label on the tube and locking nut is stamped "Made for Abercrombie & Fitch Co.", so the modern 198 taper. I like it with a DT5 or WF5; decidedly fast and crisp with plenty of power for a 7½ foot rod. One tip is a stronger taper than the other, something I have seen on Paynes before, but perhaps not on a 198, but on longer, two piece Paynes. For me I prefer the action with the stronger tip, though the difference is subtle. In Payne labeled tube and bag. $2,375 SALE PENDING Click on smaller images to enlarge

​~Charlie Jenkins 7 ft. 2 pc/2 tips #GA70-29. I understand from the current owner that this rod was the 126th rod built by Charlie and it was finished in 1976. It has a distinctly 'Garrison-esque' feel to it and I like it with a WF5 line, though it will cast a DT4 as well.  The "GA" in the serial number indicates a Garrison taper, while if it was marked "GL" it would indicate a rod inspired by Gillum. The stripping guide is hardened steel similar to the old 'Perfection' style, while the snakes are tungsten steel, all wrapped in medium brown thread tipped yellow and color preserved. A nice detail that I appreciate is the slide band which has been swaged to lay flat when engaged to the reel foot. Hoagy Carmichael taught me that many years ago and I've often wondered why more makers don't use this simple idea. Rod remains essentially straight and in at least very good condition, just a touch of blueing gone from the ferrules from years of use and one tip top deformed (see photos). I understand that Charlie carried on a correspondence with Mr. Garrison in his early building, and apparently Charlie gained an appreciation for Garrison's approach to tapers. I had the privilege of being with Charlie in southern Wyoming for a couple days many years ago on the banks of the North Platte and Encampment Creek; he is as fine a man as I have met and it is sad that he is gone, though his son Steve carries on the rod work. Comes in original bag and Jenkins labeled tube. $1250 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~John Parker 7 ft. 2pc/2 tips #4 line. I got to know John back in the 1980's when we were both getting started making rods and visited him again after his move to the Saratoga area of Wyoming. His rods gained quite a following, though it is my understanding from the last time we spoke some years ago, that he stopped building after a move back to New York state. Action is quite fast and this rod would be at home on any number of small to medium sized streams. Fully staggered, spiral node pattern insures that each node is surrounded by solid bamboo fiber. American pattern steel snake guides and small carbaloy stripping guide are held in place by light brown, translucent wraps tipped black. Tips are differentiated at the tip tops by a green tipping on one and a red on the other. 90+ percent of blueing on ferrules remains, while the butt cap and slide band show more wear from honest use. Ferrule fits are excellent and overall condition is at least very good with perfect varnish. In original bag with stiffener sewn in and brass-capped tube. $1,175 Click on smaller images to enlarge

 ~Payne model 98; 7 ft. 2pc/2 tips for #4 line. The Payne 98 is a wonderful small stream rod and this one is original finish, but not in such pristine condition that you will be afraid to use it. There is only the 'Payne / reg'd  US Pat Off' stamp on the butt cap, so was likely picked up at the Payne shop in Highland Mills, NY, as opposed to bought through a dealer. Ferrule fits are excellent and both tips have just the slightest of sweeps as if from a right handed caster. There is a less than quarter-inch 'invisible wrap' above the ferrule on one tip (I can't see why it is there; nothing obvious, so perhaps a hook dig). The guide wrap below the female ferrule has some silk cracked and should get attention before fishing, something I will be glad to do for the new owner using correct silks and finish. Many people consider this the classic Payne 7 foot light-line rod. In original bag and Payne tube and it has the ferrule plug. $2195 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Sam Carlson 7½ ft. 2pc/ 2 tips for #4 line. This is a very early rod from the acknowledged master of the quad fly rod. Sam was a most significant mentor to me when I was getting started building rods over 30 years ago; don't know that I ever could have built many quads without Sam's guidance. As seen in the photos, this rod has the fancy double tipping which Sam had his wife Verna wrap until she balked at the extra work, as well as the early 'Carlson' designation in block letters. It is truly a lovely rod and unusual in its light action at this length. Finish and wraps are excellent and original throughout. Both tip top loops are slightly 'deformed' but fully functional (I could replace them with better period tip tops if desired). The tube also has a sticker from The Bedford Sportsman which was an important fly shop run by my other early mentor Peter Phelps. In original bag (bottom re-enforced to repair hole caused by butt ferrule) and tube. It is rare to find a light-line Carlson at this length.  $3,950 SALE PENDING Click on smaller photos to enlarge.

~W.E. Carpenter 7½ ft. Browntone, 3pc/2 tips for #4 line. Walt is retired now from making rods commercially and this is an opportunity to own one of the great American modern classic dry fly rods. It is crisp and positive with the typical Carpenter fast yet very smooth action. A perfect blend of Payne and F.E. Thomas in terms of feel. This is his high grade 'Browntone' style rod and the label is also marked "Agate - Witness Marks - 2007" indicating other special features of this particular rod and I assume a build date of 2007. Rod has paper on the grip still and has been lawn cast only, remaining in near mint condtion throughout. The figured walnut reel-seat has some very minor scratches and  a very small varnish chip which has been filled and largely disappeared. In original brass-capped labeled tube and rod bag. $3,695 SOLD Click on smaller images to enlarge

~H.L. Leonard Hunt, 7½ ft. 3pc/2 tips, 49-5, Maxwell era. Many bamboo aficionados consider these Maxwell era Leonards to be the epitome of the bamboo rodmaker's craft and examining and casting this rod it is easy to see why. The workmanship is impeccable in every way and the fast, yet smooth action is a delight. I'm sorry to say that I somehow never crossed paths with Tom Maxwell, though I have heard stories of his legendary craftsmanship from other well-known makers. Low-bridge agate stripping guide, impeccable varnish, elegant proportions, great node work; what more can one say about a rod such as this? Rod remains in excellent+ condition throughout, with only the slightest indication that it has been fished. In original bag (original owner's writing as seen in photo) and Leonard brass capped tube. $3,425 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Tom Moran 7½ ft. 2pc/2 tips, #5 line. Tom passed some years ago now, and he was one of my favorite people in this bamboo endeavor, a true perfectionist and wonderful craftsman. I knew Tom both from visits with him here when he was with T&T and even before that, and I also visited with Tom in England in 1995. This is a very good casting rod for me with a WF or DT5 line and though it has an elegant swell coming into the grip, I would describe the action as "Garrisonesque". I expect a swelled butt rod to have a fast dry fly action, while this to me is more semi-parabolic in feel and in tune with Garrison's tapers. Rod is in excellent + original condition with perfect ferrule fits and straight as a pin. Comes in original bag with stiffener, hand-tooled leather rod tube and ferrule plug. $2,950 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~F.E. Thomas Special  7½ ft. 2pc/2 tips (one tip short), butt cap stamped "O / 62". This rod has the hard-to-find Thomas grip transitioning into an all cork reel-seat, certainly my favorite configuration for a Thomas rod. With its typical fast-tapering tip this rod  casts a DT4 line the way only a Thomas can; yes, I do have a fondness for F.E. Thomas rods and I would judge this to be the fast dry fly taper (Thomas made "dry fly", "fast dry fly" and "very fast dry fly" models). All metal stripping guide and American pattern tungsten steel snake guides. In original condition with tag and at least very good varnish throughout, but one tip is about 3½ inches short. A modest set from casting and fishing. In original Thomas tube with partial label and original bag. These light line short Thomas rods don't show up in the market very often and they are oh so nice to fish with.  $1,725 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~F.E. Thomas 7'6" 3pc/2 tips Special. This is a light action Thomas of older vintage with full intermediates and '03' stamped on the butt cap. It has an old, very expertly done restoration that looks like it included new cork; rod remains very straight and in excellent restored condition with perfect ferrule fits and ready to fish. It is a smooth casting, somewhat slower action as expected from its vintage; I liked it with a DT or WF4 modern line. Comes in a replacement rod bag and original tube with the older nickel plated fittings. These older light line Thomas rods don't come up often with all pieces still intact and full length like this one. $1,975 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~D.G. Schroeder 7'9" 2pc/2 tips for #5 line. These lovely honey colored rods from Don are seen less often than his flamed work and this one built in 2006 is a very pretty example indeed. A lengthy swell above the grip keeps the action above the hand which I would describe as medium-fast. Varnish is excellent throughout and ferrule fits are perfect. One tip has the slightest of casting sets, as if from a right handed caster. In original labeled tube and bag with stiffener sewn in. In my opinion a great quality rod for this price from a maker who has been building high quality rods for over 40 years. $1,675 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~W. E. Carpenter 7'9" 2pc/ 1 tip (2nd tip repair) for #5 line. This rod, built in 1980 comes from the desirable early period from Mr. Carpenter. It has an authoritative, medium-fast action that is distinctively 'Carpenter'. Varnish is excellent throughout; stripping guide is the rare light agate in blued nickel-silver frame Carpenter rods are known for, with old stock tungsten steel snakes. The bad news is that one of the two tips was broken in shipment, repaired by myself and now rod is sold as a one tip rod. An opportunity to own and fish one of the most classic rods from a premier American modern maker without the usual premium price. $1,950 Click on smaller images to enlarge

Bernard Ramanauskus / Scott 7 ft. 10 in. 2pc/2 tips for #5 line. The work I have seen from Bernard has always impressed me with its craftsmanship as well as rod action and this rod is no exception. Mario Wojnicki was the first bamboo maker represented by Scott in the early 1990's and Jim Bartschi has since then always found quality makers to build under the Scott name, and the smooth actions have also been a testament to Jim's great feel for rods as well as to the maker. This rod has an agate stripping guide and lovely clear wraps throughout with Bernard's distinctive delicate accents. These Scott model rods do still have the nodes from the natural bamboo; they are not built 'nodeless' as I believe Bernard's rods under the Eden Cane name were. The elegant swelled butt keeps the action of this rod above the hand, blending into the smooth, fast action of the rest of the taper. Condition is lightly used, but still excellent throughout with good ferrule fits and straight. A great all around trout rod and in my opinion a very good value. In original Scott tube and rod bag. The rod bag has provision for a bag stiffener, but there is none installed; I would gladly install a bamboo stiffener for the new owner if desired. $2,195 SALE PENDING Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Leon Hanson 8 ft. 2pc/2 tips Hollow for #4-5 line, 3.3 oz. Leon has been known since the 1970's as a fine builder of cane rods, even being mentioned in Schweibert's Trout in the chapter about bamboo rods and makers. In more recent years Leon has developed rod designs incorporating hollow-building well into the tips to achieve distinctively fast, light rod actions. This rod utilizes a single foot guide as the tip top and standard chrome snakes and thin-ring carbaloy stripping guide. For some reason the ink used to write the signature and model particulars has faded over time, so the script is just legible as can be seen in the photos. Grip is soiled, but with these exceptions the rod remains in excellent condition. Comes in original bag and etched-cap tube. $1,725 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Jim Hidy 8 ft. 3pc/2 tips for #4 line, ser. #Z24442 H-3. This rod is new (unlined and un-fished) and is a light action rod for #4 line. When I started studying and fishing bamboo rods in the 1970's my 'holy grail' was to find an 8 foot rod that fished a #4 line well; this rod would have been beyond a dream come true for me in those early years with its light, smooth action and wonderful feel in the hand. Jim was good friends with my old shop-mate Mario Wojnicki and it was Mario's and my work in that shop in El Cerrito which inspired Jim to evolve his own building that includes hollowing. Swiss style ferrules, agate stripping guide and light wire dark steel snake guides are nice details and combined with a distinctive grip shape and mortised reel-seat filler, all come together into a recognizable style consistent in Jim Hidy's work. In original bag and brass-capped tube. $3,250  Click on smaller images to enlarge

~G.H. Howells 8 ft. 2pc/2 tips 3¾ oz for #5 line. This rod is from the early enough period from Gary when he was still doing the double wrapping of the guides. Rod is dead straight with perfect ferrule fits and varnish is excellent throughout. Light weight all aluminum knurled slide band and pocket butt cap. There is only the very slightest ridging of the cork from age in the grip and skeleton reel-seat. A classic all-round trout rod in the best Western tradition. $2,250  Click on smaller images to enlarge

~ M. Wojnicki GF 245; 8'1" 2pc/2 tips semi-hollow 5-strip rod for #5 line; ser. #42615. These glass ferruled rods have the advantage of lighter ferrules that also allow continuous action through the ferrule. It took years for Mario to develop and perfect the design while we shared shop space in El Cerrito, CA in the 1990's and they are much more work than traditional nickel silver ferrules. This one shows signs of use such as the scratches that can be seen on the reel-seat, but the varnish and wraps are perfect as is the ferrule fit. Action is Mario's typical and distinctive semi-parabolic he has become known for. A very smooth and powerful, all-around trout rod. Comes in original bag and stamped tube. $2,750 Click on smaller images to enlarge.

~M. Wojnicki GF 245; 8'1" 2pc/2tips semi-hollow 5-strip rod for #5 line; ser. #6715. This is a glass-glass ferrule rod which it is so difficult to convince Mario to make because of the work involved. I watched Mario develop and evolve this glass ferrule design over a period of years while we shared shop space in El Cerrito, CA. I feel it is the best synthetic material ferrule ever developed. This one comes from the collection of my friend and fellow rod-maker Jack Coyle and remains in excellent, lightly used condition. Action is on the parabolic side of semi-parabolic. Snake guides are hard chrome while the stripping guide is a Mildrum SRMC light ring carbaloy. Comes in distinctive original bag (with M. Wojnicki tag) and brass-capped stamped tube and includes Mario's ferrule plug for the female glass ferrule. An outer tube bag is included, but is not original to the rod. From the collection of Jack Coyle  $2,950 Click on smaller  photos to enlarge.

 ~M. Wojnicki model 252 F4; 8'3" (252 cm) 2pc/2 tips weighing 3½ oz for #4-5 lines in semi-hollow hexagonal construction. I was recently visiting with Mario Wojnicki, my old El Cerrito shop-mate, at his home and shop in Alsace and asked him about this uncatalogued model rod. He told me it was actually based on my model 834-2 df HB rod. This rod by Mario is on the strong side of that action, certainly good with a DT4 line, but some anglers may prefer a WF5. The rod has been used, but remains in excellent condition throughout, straight and true with no issues. Guides are hard chrome and the stripping guide an SRMC carbaloy ring by Mildrum. A smooth casting rod, perhaps a bit faster than Mario's standard semi-parabolic action. Comes in original bag and tube with model stamping on cap. Note that this is one of Mario's standard, nickel-silver ferruled rods. $3,450 SALE PENDING Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Payne 204L, 8½ ft. 3pc/2 tips, #4/5 line. The current owner of this rod identifies it as a model 204L; I only have one old Payne catalog that lists a 204L and it puts the weight at 4⅜ oz. This rod is on the light side of that at about 4¼ oz, so it is possible it may be an older model 204 which another old Payne catalog puts at "4¼ to 4½" oz. In any case it is a light action Payne that will handle a DT4 or TT5 line, and do so beautifully. When I began my quest for a long, light-line bamboo rod about 40 years ago, my holy grail was to find an 8 ft. rod that would cast a #4 line; I couldn't even have imagined finding one six inches longer that would be happy with such a light line. This rod now joins a 1924 Eustis Edwards and an E.C. Powell, both also 8½ ft. rods, as one of the rods from the classic era that I have experienced with this remarkable light action. This rod has had a complete restoration at some point, with grip replacement and full refinish. The original agate stripping guide has been retained and the snake guides are the proper American pattern tungsten steel, while the brown wraps look to be nylon rather than the original silk, and a touch lighter in color. Stamping on the butt cap is only the standard Payne stamp; there is no dealer stamp. The quality restoration has been professionally done and this rod is ready to fish. It is remarkable to me what these old masters were able to do with rod actions even prior to the evolution of hollow-building. In what looks to be the original bag and Payne tube (upgraded blue label). $1,950 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~M. Wojnicki model 265 GF; 265 cm (about 8'8") 3 pc/ 2 tips, semi-hollow hexagonal salmon / steelhead rod for #7 lines. This is a glass ferrule rod in three pieces for easy transport; these lighter ferrules don't weigh the rod down as much as nickel silver ferrules and also allow the rod to bend through the ferrules. I would say the action on this resorcinol glued rod is closer to a progressive action than to Mario's more typical semi-parabolic tapers. It remains in lightly used, excellent condition with chrome guides and SRMC Mildrum stripping guide. In original bag and tube with model stamp on cap. $2,425 SALE PENDING Click on smaller images to enlarge

Reels

~Hardy Perfect 2⅞" Mark II check. This reel has seen use and much of the leaded finish is gone as seen in the photos, but it is perfectly tight with no spool play or wobble. The gray agate is unblemished, though there is some line rash on a cross pillar and next to the line guard. Shorter ribbed brass foot and original spare parts in place. It is getting increasingly difficult to find this size Perfect, especially in this mechanical condition. RHW and comes in a black Hardy soft case.  $575 Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Hardy Perfect 3⅛" Mark II check. This reel has seen use and much of its original leaded finish has worn away, but remains tight and mechanically perfect; a great reel to fish with for #4 -6 lines. Shorter, easy to fit to reel-seats ribbed brass foot and spare parts in place. RHW and comes in black Hardy soft case. $395 SALE PENDING Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Hardy original Bougle; 2¾" pillar to pillar, 2½" across drum. Leaded finish with long ribbed aluminum foot; actual weight 4.6 oz. This is a RHW reel, as you would expect. The original run of Bougles are quite rare from any time period when they were produced up until 1939, with less than 200 of the Mark II check reels built from 1932-39. This Mark II version is probably the most evolved of all the original Bougles and the nicest version to fish with and I have to say this is an exceptionally smooth, great feeling and sounding reel. Very tight with no spool wobble at all, just a great condition reel with most of its leaded finish still intact. The click adjustment has a very wide range; top roller moves freely as it should and all spare parts are in place. One of its owners had their initials professionally engraved into the winding plate as seen in the photos. I have for a long time felt that the Bougle is the perfect fly reel, being basically a raised pillar Perfect, and I very much prefer the ones with the dark leaded finish. If you want a beautiful, classic Bougle to enjoy on the river, this is the one. $2,575 Click on images to enlarge

~Hardy 'St. George Junior' in spitfire finish and left-hand wind. This is the very nice re-issued version of this wonderful little reel with the 1930's hole pattern and 'ivorine' handle and light grey agate line guard. It is in mint, unused, condition, coming with original shipping box, faux-sheepskin lined Hardy case, all papers and Hardy decal and shipping box as issued. $595 Click on images to enlarge.

~Hardy Wide Drum Salmon Perfect 4" in Right Hand Wind from my personal collection. This reel has no line guard, so it is possible to flip the pawl inside and use this reel as a LHW. It is in very nice shape, showing only minor finish wear and having all spare parts in place internally. It has the long, ribbed brass foot, original retaining screw and straight-line writing and comes in Hardy Brothers box properly marked with a "4 inch Perfect" tag. $545

~Paul Herman salmon reel, 3⅛" diameter and approximately 1¼" wide, serial number 116 in LHW. Seven-position drag gives a very wide range on this beautiful S-handle reel. It has been honestly used, but remains in excellent condition, the only noticeable slight scuffing on the rims. Comes in fitted Olaf Kundrus black leather case. $2150 Click on images to enlarge

~Paul Herman salmon reel, 3⅛" diameter and approximately 1¼" wide, serial number 192 in LHW. Seven-position drag gives a very wide range on this beautiful S-handle reel. It is in excellent condition with the exception of two dings on the rims opposite the reel-foot (very slight; can be seen in photo). Comes in a high quality leather and sheepskin-lined case as seen in the photos. $1,895 SALE PENDING Click on images to enlarge .

~Paul Herman small trout reel, 2½" diameter spool in LHW. This is serial number 082 of his hard-to-find trout reels; it remains in excellent condition with the exception of a small ding on the edge of one rim (visible in one photo next to the screw opposite the reel-foot on the side plate). Comes in original red fleece bag. A very nice reel for lighter lines. $1950 SALE PENDING Click on smaller images to enlarge

~Peerless 1½. These reels were produced by Bob Corsetti I believe starting in the 1990's and became very well liked by many anglers, but are no longer available. This RHW reel remains in excellent, very lightly used condition; I wouldn't call it mint, but I can find no scratches or abrasion anywhere. This size is good for a #4 line. Adjustable click and Bogdan-like aesthetics. Comes in original Peerless stamped case with faux sheep skin lining; it looks like real leather, but I can't be sure that it is. Case has the "Made in New England / USA" label inside as well. A very pretty reel. $495 SALE PENDING Click on smaller images to enlarge
