Kube, Alan - Custom 8' 2/3 5wt (Payne 102) Bamboo Rod

For sale here is an Alan Kube 8' 2-piece / 3-tip 5wt bamboo rod in excellent used condition. This is a custom rod, based on the Payne 102 taper. Golden wheatstraw colored cane with 2x2 nodes and lightly oxidized snake guides. Banded agate stripping guide, and the wraps are transparent brown with dark tipping. Blued 13/64 ferrules fit perfectly, and the female is fitted with a mammoth ivory ferrule plug. All sections are full length & serialized (#22816), and the tips are marked for ease of rotation. All 3 tips have slight fish-fighting sets. 6" cork grip is clean and smooth, and the rod is fitted with a blued cap & ring reel seat over dark burl spacer. The bluing is in excellent shape throughout, and the rod appears to have seen little use. Weight is 4.09oz. Medium fast action, a nice rendition of the popular Payne 102 taper. Sold in the original bag and tube with custom hardware.
