Leonard 38H Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4 8'6" Slim cigar gripA nice Leonard 38H 2 piece, 2 tip for a #4 line. This late 1960's model is in near mint condition. Serial #2749. Medium action. Grip appears to have been cleaned. Tiny amount of brassing on inner guides and tip tops. These are the only signs of use. This is the classic "Red Wrap" rod. Ferrules fit like new. Three up node pattern, blonde cane, red wraps, and varnished butternut slide band reel seat. Polished bright hardware. Rod varnish is excellent.
