HL Leonard Model 48-4 Bamboo Rod 7' 3/2 #4

VFT1711


For sale here is a Leonard Model 48-4 bamboo rod -- 7' 3/2 for a 4 wt line. Excellent+ condition. Serial #8088. All sections are full length and straight. The script on the rod appears to be someone's other than Maxwell, but everything else clearly points to a Tom Maxwell built rod.

Standard honey-toned cane with transparent wraps. Brown silks and burgundy tipping as accents throughout the rod. The tip sections are distinguished by one or two dots at the ferrules. Handsome, generously swelled butt. Cap and ring seat with amazing tiger maple wood spacer. Light bluing loss to the seat hardware. Ferrules are size 9/64 and 15/64 with an excellent fit. The rod weighs 3.30 oz. The action is medium-fast. This rod exemplifies what makes Maxwell-era Leonards so desirable. 

Includes original bag and tube with canvas cover.

Please note: Paypal is not accepted for international sales. Please use a credit card or choose "Direct Bank Transfer" if you purchase the rod online.
