For sale here is an H.L. Leonard Model 38H "Baby Catskill" bamboo rod -- 7' 2/2 4wt. Serial no. 421. Very early post-fire rod. Excellent original condition having been cared for very well. All sections are full length and straight.

Ruby colored wraps and olive tipping at the winding check and male ferrules. Deeply blued guides. Ring hook keeper over a moderately swelled butt. Nickel silver checks. The petite cigar grip measures 4 1/2" in length with a bit of soiling though the cork remains very smooth. Bright nickel silver cap and ring reel seat over a mortised butternut spacer.
