HL Leonard Model 66H Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #5/6 4-piece This reel was made before

This reel was made before it was officially coined the "Restigouche" model in approximately 1911

There are only 27 Bob Doerr models known to exist and I would venture to say that only perhaps a handful remain in such fine condition as this rod

For sale here is a Paul French "Midge" bamboo rod - 6'3" 2/2 for a 4 weight line

this rod is being offered at less than half of what an original Model 206 would sell for
