Leonard Model 39H Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5/6 10' with the flush butt capAn HL Leonard model 39H fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, built for a #5 or #6 line. Serial #365. 3. 8 ounces. Fair condition. On the faster side of medium. The grip has soiling, the varnish has been retouched, and one wrap has been recoated with something that I can't determine. There is a clear wrap below the tip top on one top. Some wear to the guides. 1968 manufacture date is my guess. The ferrule fits are good, the rod comes with a ferrule plug and
