Leonard Catskill 48-4 Fly Rod 7' 3/2 #4
$ 2,450

A nice HL Leonard 48-4 Catskill fly rod, 7', 3-piece, 2-tips, built for a #4. No serial number and I would date this rod to the Larry Foster period at Leonard. The rod is in mint unused condition. Flamed and oven tempered cane done in a three up node pattern. Mirrored tips. Transparent wraps with red edges. Excellent varnish. A circle guide has been used for the stripper similar to early Catskill models. No cork check and the reel seat has a wood lip instead of a rear cork check. Oxidized hardware. The grip is 5" long in a slim cigar shape and has no sign of hand soiling. The reel seat is either Spanish cedar or a light walnut and hand turned and flatted with several coats of varnish. The butt cap has the usual late model "The Rod Maker" stamp. Tan colored cloth bag. The tube is aluminum and the brass collar has a large die stamp "HL Leonard, The Rod Maker, Since 1869".

Shipping Information
- We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
