Leonard Model 39-5 Bamboo Fly Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5 11'3" Personal comments from H&S: ThisAn HL Leonard model 39 5 bamboo fly rod, 7'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, and built for a #5 line. Serial #1936 with a manufacture date of 1974. 3. 8 ounces. Excellent used condition with some modest cosmetic cracking at the ferrule wraps and wear to the inner snake guides. Medium action with what feels to me like a faster butt and more moderate tips. Blonde oven temper cane done in a three up node pattern. The wraps are 326 red with additional edges of green
