HL Leonard Model 39-H Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #6 8’5” 14 cork western-style fore gripA nice H. L. Leonard model 39 H bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #6 line. Serial #2847 (1974 75). The rod weighs 3. 8 ounces on my scale. Medium fast action. The 38 H and 39 H were the most popular of the Leonard red wrap line. Very light use, with mild hand soiling to the grip and just the start of some wear to the snake guides. The rod is straight and ferrule fits are as original. Blonde cane, varnished, and done in a three up
