H.L. Leonard Rod Co.  "Duracane"

Model: 805   Length: 8' Line: #5 weight: 3 3/4 oz. Serial Number: 2543  This rod is in good condition. It was obviously fished for a long time, noted by the thumb print indentation on the cork grip.  Almost all of the guide wraps look new, but two are slightly fraying.  Easy to fix.  Some of the paint has worn off the eyelets, reel seat ring, and butt cap.  The previous owner had some extra cork to put on the handle so the reel fits more snug.  This rod was fished hard and deserves a second chance to return to the stream, not just a collector's display vault.  $495 (OBO) 406-222-7130

Cigar grip with extra glued on cork to make the reel fit more snug.  Natural thumb print indentation (like Winston's Joan Wulff favorite). 

Flap - Ring hook keeper.  Model:  Duracane #805-2543.  The ferrules work smoothly but snug (as should be).  This would be an awesome spring creek, small brook, or mountain creek rod for someone!  $495 OBO.  406-222-7130
