H.L. LEONARD, STANDARD MODEL 49-5. 7 1/2' 5wt. 3pc. x-tip.

The standard by which fine rods are measured. Natural amber gold in color and wound in gossamer silk of subtle hues, the Standards exude a timeless beauty, a forged line with the past. yet for all their delicacy each will perform beyond measure or expectation, as above all else these finely mitered pieces are intended to work or perform.

   Built with uncompromising care, the Standard is in the opinion of many the finest rod ever built, intended to be a friend and companion, it is an investment in tradition and beauty to be passed on in the family.

    As you may be aware, I carried H.L. Leonard fly rods in my shop until their demise in 1984.

In 1981 Leonard built this rod for me and neatly scripted my name on the butt section. I lawn cast the rod a couple times but never fished it, it is brand new. Everything is original.

   No need to provide further description. The photos speak for themselves. Price: $4150.00

An H.L. Leonard catalog will accompany the sale.
