Leonard 50 Fly Rod 8' 3/2 #5 9' The varnish is superb andA classic Leonard 50 model fly rod, 8', 3 piece, 2 tips. One tip is 1 3 4" short and has a replaced top top. The hangtag states "Tournament 3 5 8 oz 50 6" although I would use a #5 and it may well support a #4. Very fine tips (. 50" less varnish) with a #3 tip top on the full length tip. The top of the female ferrule has the patent date stamps. Burgundy wraps with small reverse twist guides. 12 cork medium cigar grip. Varnished butternut slide band
