Leonard H.L. Leonard 9ft #6 3oz 2pc Fly Rod

This is a Graphtech rod, manufactured between the 1970s and 1980s by the prestigious rod maker H.L. Leonard. It is 9 feet long and designed for a 6-weight line.

It pairs perfectly with vintage reels such as the Perfect. The gray blank with red wrapping thread is distinctive. As expected from a renowned bamboo rod maker, it offers a supple casting feel and is exceptionally lightweight. It has been used in actual fishing, so the cork grip has darkened, but the blank and guides are in beautiful condition with almost no scratches.
This is a very rare piece, as it is rarely found in circulation domestically or internationally.
Although it is marked as a 6-weight, my personal experience using it suggests that a 5-weight line is more appropriate, and I used it with a 5-weight line.

A cloth bag and hard case are included, though they are not original as this is a vintage item.

While it is in beautiful condition, it is a used item, so please only purchase if you understand this. As this is a rare item, please refrain from requesting price reductions. Also, to prevent fraudulent returns, all sales are final (no returns, no exchanges).
