An HL Leonard Duracane bamboo fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for what feels like a #6 line. Serial number 1733, dating it to the mid 1970s. It weighs 4 ounces on my scale. The grip has moderate hand soiling, but the rod is in pretty good, lightly used condition overall with some minor cosmetic wear but no major issues that I could find. It is straight and ready to fish. Impregnated cane done in a three opposed node pattern, wrapped in green throughout with a keeper, carbide stripper, one lighter guide above the stripper, with the rest black along with the tip tops. Bright step ferrules. The grip is a medium cigar with a fore cork check. The reel seat is a down-locking screw lock with an aluminum barrel and ring over a light butternut spacer and a nickel silver cap with the HL Leonard Rod Co stamped in a cartouche on the reverse side.The rod packs into a light poplin rod bag and the original aluminum tube with brass fittings.
