HL Leonard Model 50DF Bamboo Rod 8' 3/2 #5 HL Leonard with the frontis a pictureFor sale here is a pre fire Leonard Model 50DF bamboo rod 8 feet for a 5 weight line. One of the original tip sections is missing. The rod is in excellent condition. All sections are full length. The tip section has a slight set and there is one very small hook dig in the mid section, but I don't think it is serious enough to warrant a repair. Cap and ring over a butternut insert. Patent dates on butt section ferrule. Includes original factory bag
