HL Leonard Model 38L Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #3
$ 1,850
1358
A very nice Leonard Model 38-L fly rod, 7', 2-piece, 2-tips, and built for a #3 or possibly even a #2. Serial #1257 which dates this to approximately 1970 or 1971. Very good used condition. Very slow, delicate action. Blonde cane done in a three up node pattern. Red wraps. Brush coated varnish. Black stainless snake guides. The keeper is one flat right and the serial number is lettered one flat left. The grip is 5" long, shaped to a medium cigar, and has some soiling from use. The reel seat is a varnished butternut cap and ring. The die stamp on the cap reads "HLL Leonard, Rod Co, Makers" in a cartouche. The ferrule fits are tight and the rod is nice and straight. This is a fairly rare model, the first one I have handled in quite a while. The rod packs into a yellow cloth bag with stiffener and an aluminum tube with brass hardware.

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.
