#245 I am very fond of this match. PHY Perfectionist with Wide Baby Bogdan and Wulff 5TT line. Very smooth

#246Are my eyes playing tricks or is the slide on the Perfectionist ferrule blued?

#247No Old fish brain those are aluminum ferrules that the PHY Company used at times.

#248I can't see anything wrong with having more than one perfect match. A couple days ago I posted a photo of a PHY Perfectionist; today the rod is a Martha Marie, again made by Paul Young. The reel is a 3" St. George and the line is a Wulff 5TT. We had a beautiful day here in KY today, and I couldn't resist casting in the backyard.

#253Yowzers...that's a dandy.
Late to the show but will get a couple set ups posted shortly...I'm thinking a Karstetter and George for starters.

Re: Finding the Perfect match
#256The rod is a 1920s- or -30s era Payne 202, sold by Von Lengerke & Antoine of Chicago, with the so-called jam-fit reel seat. The reel is an Edward vom Hofe Perfection from 1929. Hoagy Carmichael explains in his book "8" that Jim Payne tried out this seat before hiring George Halstead in the 1920s to redesign Payne reel seats. The jam-fit, or spiral, design, evoked the John Landman ivoroid seat of some 20 years earlier. I'm not crazy about the ring's cockeyed angle as it grips the reel seat, but it does hold it tight.

Re: Finding the Perfect match
#257Wow. Double wow. One of the nicest pairings I've seen.
I've been thinking about what reel to match with this early Payne with a tip tube... if I purchase it. It's an 8' 3/2 3wt with silk line and 2wt with modern line.
Again, wow.

#258Very nice rod. Looks like one that was made to compete with Leonard's Fairy Catskill?
I would look for an older Perfect for that one.
