REDUCED! H.L. Leonard 8'6" 5-6 weight Silver Signature graphite rod, circa 1978. Original owner; purchased direct from Andy Puyans at his Walnut Creek shop. Andy created the "AP" nymph and founded the Calif chapter of Trout Unlimited in 1964.
Excellent condition. Medium action. Down locking aluminum reel seat with rosewood spacer. Finely tapered cigar cork grip, strap & ring hook keeper. The threaded collar of the reel seat has the typical tiny hairline crack that does not effect the locking mechanism. The rod is wrapped in silver gray thread with red tipping at the winding check, spigot ferrule and tip top. Signed "The H.L. Leonard Rod Co., 8'6"~6" original canvas sack and a dented aluminum tube. I preferred using it with a 5WF.
$275 OBRO plus shipping. Trade towards Sage LL 4-5 series
