Leonard bamboo fly rod Closing : Jan-13-08 18:30:00 PST CLICK HERE TO BID!

This Leonard fly rod reel seat is stamped "H L Leonard Rod Leonard Mills Co Maker". The rod is 6ft 8 inches, 3 piece with 2 tips. All sections are equal length. Most likely this rod was shortened from a slightly longer model. Rod has been refinished not restored. It has an all metal nickle silver reel seat and diminutive 4 1/4 inch cork grip. Butt section ferrule patent markings: "Sept. 3, 1878, Oct 28, '75". All hardware including red agate stripping guide appears original with exception of 1 tip section male ferrule which is from Bailey Woods of Classic Sporting Enterprises and a female ferrule on mid section which is a machined replacement similar to the original. This is a fast action rod with delicate tips. This is a personal rod that I've used with a 3 wt Cortland Sylk double tapered line.
