A scarce H.L. Leonard 66L bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for what feels like a #5 line. 4 ounces. Serial #477. Used condition, with some ridging to the grip from cleaning. The ferrule fits are serviceable but not quite factory. There is a wee bit of downward set in the tips. Blond cane done in a three-up node pattern. Brush-coated varnish. Red/maroon wraps. Carbide stripper and black snake guides. The step ferrules are polished bright. The action is on the slower side. The medium cigar grip is 6" long. The reel seat wood is varnished butternut with an aluminum downlock square thread screw lock, and a nickel silver pocket cap with the stamp "H.L.L., H.L. Leonard Rod Co., Makers." The poplin bag has a stiffener. The aluminum tube has brass top, collar, and bottom but no Leonard data sticker.
