A nice H.L. Leonard model 39-5 bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2-piece, 2-tip, and built for a #5 line. Refinished by Sam Carlson. Unfished since then. Paper and gum strips still on the grip. High quality dip finished and the rod comes with one of Sam’s brown cloth bags. New non-original rod tube. The tips may have been replaced by Sam also. Blonde cane, three up node pattern. Red main wraps with no edges. Perfection stripper and black snake guides. The Leonard step ferrules fit well and are polished. This rod is ready for another lifetime of fishing. The grip is 5 1/2" and turned to a medium cigar profile. The seat is comprised of a butternut spacer under a slide band and a pocket cap. The die stamp reads: “The Leonard Rod / H.L. Leonard Rod Co. / Makers” and outside the cartouche “Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.” As stated, the bag is one of Sam’s and the tube is 
all brushed aluminum, not original.

Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
