HL Leonard Model 50-5 Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5 [SALE PENDING] 12' The rod features handsome medium-darkA nice H. L. Leonard model 50 5 bamboo fly rod, 8', 3 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #8194 which dates this rod to 1981 during the Tom Maxwell period. The rod weighs 4. 2 ounces on my scale. This is the Leonard Standard model with blonde cane. Lawn cast or very light use, with just a tiny touch of brassing to the inner part of the snake guides. Otherwise the rod is pristine and still has the original shrink wrap on the grip. Wheatstraw
