The H.L. Leonard Rod Company offers the angler the unique opportunity to participate in fly fishing history and tradition by owning investment grade tackle of the highest quality. Leonard rods have proven over the past one hundred years to offer the finest quality fishing rods. These rods become heirlooms and are passed on from generation to generation. Leonard bamboo rods have actually increased in value since their purchase when kept in good condition.
In keeping with this tradition the H.L. Leonard Rod Company offers the following:

This rod was our first limited edition
in recent years. Twenty of these rods were made in 1995 and sold
out within a short time. Town and Country
Magazine named this rod "WBR Worlds Best Rod
in their January 2001 issue. Since
the rod is so popular we are issuing 20 more rods in 2001. The
rod is a four weight, 7 feet in length, two piece with two mirrored
tips and has a crisp Tom Maxwell dry fly action. The rod follows
the Leonard tradition associated with its Hunt model
in that is sports the rare blued hardware, burgundy guide wraps,
olive tipped with black ferrule wraps, a stripped guide, hook
keeper, pressed nodes and flamed cane (giving it a dark hue.)
Mr. Hunt was a valued regular customer of Leonard in the early
1900s who had an international reputation as a successful
salmon fisher. The gentleman custom ordered all his Leonard rods
with blued hardware and flamed cane believing the traditional
bright hardware and light cane could spook fish. Starting in
the 1920s Leonard would build custom ordered rods in the
Hunt finish for knowledgeable anglers. We feel this
particular rod offers unique and beautiful ascetics and will
stand out in any rod collection. Notwithstanding, it is one fabulous
fly fishing rod. It comes with two mirrored tips, rod bag, and
HLL aluminum tube. |
