Maxwell Leonard 50DF Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #6


An immaculate Leonard 50 DF from the Maxwell period, serial #178, an 8' 3/2 for a #6 line, with all of the hallmarks. Extra-fine, near mint condition with the only sign of use being a small mark on the reel seat where a reel has been fitted lightly at some point. Honey colored guide wraps and burgundy ferrule wraps. Slide band reel seat over a tiger maple spacer. Oxodized ferrules and hardware with that great pewter color, 100% intact. The rod is in pristine condition with the original bag and tube, and the varnish is some of the best ever seen on a Leonard. Ferrules are super smooth fitting. All numbers match and the tips have 1 & 2 dots respectively. Semi-full-flexing rod produces extra powerful DF action, perfect for Western waters or throwing large green drakes on the Delaware. It would be hard to find a classic like this in better condition anywhere.

Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
