Leonard Tournament Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #5/6 4 Weight A nice account by one

A nice account by one of the UK's most accomplished salmon anglers

I can see only the tiniest amount of brassing inside the snake guides

this rod boasts lightly flamed cane that has been superbly varnished and which is straight as a pin

This rod is more than mint

These are desirable fly boxes

Leonard Tournament Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #5/6 4 Weight A nice account by oneA nice early Leonard Tournament fly rod, 9' 3 piece, 2 tip built for a #5 or #6 line. Medium action. I'm guessing a 1930's date on this rod. Varnished and with a three up node pattern construction. Patent date stamped on the butt ferrule. Small reverse twist guides are most suitable for silk lines. Wrapped yellow with cinnamon edges, fore and aft at the keeper, at the male ferrules, and the agate tip tops. The agate stripper is in good condition.
