This is one of just 250 Perfect reels equipped with a new and improved variation of their “floating pawl” check and regulator system

one of which has a slightly flatter taper for use with wet flies

Judging by the guide foot stains on the mid and the ghosting on the tips this rod has been refinished and may have been cut down from a 9 foot

Leonard Tournament Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #5/6 7'10" There is some rash toA nice early Leonard Tournament fly rod, 9' 3 piece, 2 tip built for a #5 or #6 line. Medium action. I'm guessing a 1930's date on this rod. Varnished and with a three up node pattern construction. Patent date stamped on the butt ferrule. Small reverse twist guides are most suitable for silk lines. Wrapped yellow with cinnamon edges, fore and aft at the keeper, at the male ferrules, and the agate tip tops. The agate stripper is in good condition.
