Leonard Tournament Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #5/6 4 Weight but a very professional job

but a very professional job

feeling quick fairly far up the rod but still with plenty of flex

No varnish issues and good ferrule fits

I can see only the tiniest amount of brassing inside the snake guides

Leonard Tournament Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #5/6 4 Weight but a very professional jobA nice early Leonard Tournament fly rod, 9' 3 piece, 2 tip built for a #5 or #6 line. Medium action. I'm guessing a 1930's date on this rod. Varnished and with a three up node pattern construction. Patent date stamped on the butt ferrule. Small reverse twist guides are most suitable for silk lines. Wrapped yellow with cinnamon edges, fore and aft at the keeper, at the male ferrules, and the agate tip tops. The agate stripper is in good condition.
