HL Leonard Model 39 Bamboo Rod 7'6" 2/2 #5 7'2" Peter Morse broke a world

Peter Morse broke a world record on a Sage 6012 reel

fly reel - size 5/6

The rod weighs in at a lean 3

but I can see that the wraps have had a light layer of over-varnish applied to them

and would pair beautifully with a 7'6 4-weight bamboo rod
