The 1977 Winston catalog describes the "Leetle Feller" as,
"They are designed to make short, very accurate casts on small streams where extreme care in line presentation is desired. The Leetle Fellers arewell designed rods for serious anglers to fish #3 or #4 lines under 50'."
The catalog describes the rod as having a medium action though I would describe it as being medium to medium-fast. Includes replacement bag and original tube with 50% of the label remaining. A lovely San Francisco Leetle Feller to collect or fish!
