HL Leonard Bamboo Fly Rod 8' 1/1 #4 8’5” Walt describes these rods asAn unusual HL Leonard fly rod, 8', 1 piece, built for what feels to me like a #4. 3. 9 ounces. A very scarce model. Delicate, medium fast action. Fair condition as it has been unprofessionally rewrapped and the based of the swell has had either a slight delamination problem or was not glued up properly, though it seems solid now. Pre fire. The varnish work looks to be original. Keeper one flat right. The grip is 5 1 2" long in a medium blunt cigar.
