Leonard, H.L. - 38ACM

Early post-fire 7' 0" Leonard 38ACM weighing 2.35 oz. Nickel silver hardware over butternut wood spacer. Diminutive cigar grip measuring 5". Measuring the tips as one would three flats they are a lean 0.0495" - 0.0540." A delicate, full working taper appropriate for a 3 weight line. Loads with the leader alone. Competent attaining a 40' cast and beyond if required. Fished only a handful of times since Steve Blake gave this a new coat of varnish approximately 5-years ago – assuming new wraps but not confirmed. Original tube and bag with stiffener.

Thought to be a plain 38, after Ted Simroe's inspection we know it's a seldom seen 38ACM built with a pre-fire taper. The first few post-fire batches were not adjusted for modern lines.
