HL Leonard Hunt Bamboo Fly Rod 7' 2/2 #4 11'3" Blacker's influence on salmon flyAn HL Leonard model 38 4M bamboo fly rod, 7', 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #4 line. The rod weighs 3. 2 ounces on my scale. Serial #102 from the Brian McGrath era. Hunt model with a medium crisp DF action. The rod has seen very light use with some brassing to the inner guides and a hit of hand soiling to the grip. Flamed cane done in a three up node pattern. Excellent varnish. Maroon main wraps with a #8 SRMC stripper and bronze snakes. Large hoop
