Leonard Special Tournament Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #4/5
$ 1,750
962
A nice HL Leonard Special Tournament model, 8', 3-piece, 2-tips, built for what feels to me like a fast #4 or a slower #5. Medium action. All original condition and probably made in the 1930's. For its age it is in very good condition with a few minor issues. First of these are a few varnish chips and the second is the cracked agate tip-tops in both tips (the agate stripping guide is fine). The ferrule fits are fine and the rod is straight. Original "top hat" style ferrule plugs. 3-up node pattern construction and blonde cane. The wraps are red edged with green. The ferrules are the lovely pot belly style with a clear patent date on the butt female. The grip is an unusual 5" cigar (relatively short for an 8' rod) of 3/8" corks and it is fairly heavily soiled though there are signs that it had been cleaned at some point. Varnished butternut spacer with a square thread uplocking screw lock seat. The stamp says "The Leonard, HL Leonard Rod Co, Makers, Reg US Pat Off" and opposite "Special Tournament". Original bag and tube however the hang tag is illegible.
