For sale here is a HL Leonard Model 39H bamboo rod made by Ted Simroe post-fire. 7 1/2 feet. Two sections with two tips. Cataloged as a 6wt rod. On the medium side of medium fast action. Definitely not medium-slow action like the standard Model 39. With one exception, the rod is in excellent original condition. All sections are straight and full-length. One tip has a professionally-applied protective wrap about half way up covering a hook mark. The rod weighs 3 7/8 oz. Size 13/64 ferrules and the ferrule fit is excellent. Maroon wraps. Bright hardware. Uplocking reel seat with butternut insert. The grip has the slightest bit of ridging, but it's very slight. Includes original yellow bag with stiffener as well as the original aluminum tube.
This rod is offered at a very nice price solely due to the protective wrap on one tip, which doesn't affect its fishing ability whatsoever. Don't let this one get away!
