An HL Leonard Special Tournament model bamboo fly rod, 9'6", 3-piece, 2-tip and built for what feels to me like a #9 line. This salmon rod weighs 8.1 ounces on my scale. Used but good condition overall. Medium fast action. Very light wear to the inner snake guides. The rod looks to be in original condition based on the wraps and varnish. Someone has tidied up the metalwork and the tube by removing any patina. Blonde cane done in a three up node pattern. Red wraps with a small (silk line) stripper and HSS snake guides. No patent date on the female ferrules. The grip is 6" long and sculpted to a full wells profile. The all nickel silver downlocking seat is 4" long with a pocket cap and detachable plug for the fighting butt. The die stamp on the pocket cap reads "The Leonard Rod, HL Leonard Rod Co, Makers" in a cartouche and "Reg US Pat Off". Stamped above it on the tube is "Special Tournament". The fighting butt is 4 1/2" long with a large red rubber button and stores in a separate cloth pouch attached to the gray cloth bag. It packs into an older style aluminum tube with brass fixtures.
