Set up for RHW but can be easily reversed to LHW

or you can choose to use the power transmitted through the mid and butt sections for longer casts

It's getting more difficult to find Bogdan reels in unused condition

recently re-wrapped one guide and cleaned up the rod in general

Leonard "Tournament Champion" Fly Rod 9' 3/2 #9/10 8'6' Set up for RHW butA fascinating HL Leonard bamboo fly rod designated as a "Tournament, Champion" model. 9', 3 piece, 2 tips, and built for what feels to me like a #9 or #10. 5 7 8 ounces. This is a most unusual Leonard. The hang tag is inked at the top "WM6", "Tournament Champion", a line that is no longer legible, "9 feet, 5 7 8 oz, No 51 H. L. H." and on the reverse '7915' ". The rod is in excellent original condition and with no patent date on the female ferrules.
