Leonard Salmon Rod 9' 4/2 #8/9 10' The grip is lightly soiled

The grip is lightly soiled indicating some use

The rod is set up in Leonard's well-known "Catskill style" with a wooden lip for a rear cork check and an english-style tournament snake guide for a stripping guide

The stand-out model for me was the 6'9" utilizing a 7 sink tip or an 8 floating line

One of these has caused a crack line to show in the varnish so there may be some movement in that facet

Leonard Salmon Rod 9' 4/2 #8/9 10' The grip is lightly soiledA very rare and unusual HL Leonard salmon rod, 9', 4 piece, 2 tip built for a #8 9 line. Serial #840, which suggests a 1969 or 1970 manufacture date. The rod sections measure out to 27 1 2" which helps it packs up into a very transportable size. On the faster side of most Leonard actions. The overall condition is very good and fishable. No varnish issues and good ferrule fits. Blonde cane in three up node pattern construction. Wrapped in a honey tan
