The Perfect Leonard 40-4 Fly Rod 8' 2/2 #4 Kit [d1yF2j6x]

A nice HL Leonard 40-4 fly rod, 8', 2-piece, 2-tip, built for a #4 line. Serial #2180. Medium to medium slow action. Condition is used but in very good fishing condition. 3 up node pattern construction, with 326 red silk wraps, and a band of green and red at the keeper and male ferrules. The varnish is typical of brush coat technique. The stripping guide wraps have been overcoated. Everything else is original. No hook digs and the ferrule fits are not too loose. 11 cork 5 1/2" medium cigar grip is darkened from hand soiling but not overly so. The rod is somewhat unusual in that it has a cork slide band seat with a nickel silver pocket cap stamped "H.L.L, H.L. Leonard Rod Co., Makers" in the cartouche. Comes in the original bag with no hang tag and a non original ferrule plug and tube.
