Sparse gave the rod to Everett Garrison to modify and improve the action

Leonard 38M-4 Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4 1 Weight 5 weight rodA nice Leonard 38M 4. Later model rod, two piece, two tip, and serial #110. Tips are not mirrored. When jointed, this rod has a delightful, quick action. I actually would not call it "medium" at all, despite the designation. The rod is varnished, with burgundy wraps, cigar grip, and almost no soiling at all. I cannot find any evidence of brassing on the inside of the guides which indicates that it has had almost no use. Comes with a Mildrum stripping
