Features Leonard's historic 50DF taper with gradual progression for precise medium-range casting and fish-fighting backbone
18% nickel silver ferrules paired with agate stripper guide ensure smooth line flow and corrosion resistance
Six-strip construction using premium Tokin bamboo from Tosa, Japan, finished with water-based varnish
Moderate action (flex point at 40-60% of rod length) optimizes #10-14 fly presentations in technical streams
Customizable agate guide colors and reel seat styles available through official website consultation
This Leonard 50DF tribute rod faithfully recreates the iconic taper using six carefully selected Tokin bamboo splines. The 18% nickel silver ferrules provide secure ferrule connections while maintaining casting smoothness. With medium power and moderate action characteristics, it delivers precise dry fly placements yet sufficient backbone to handle 1-6lb trout and bass.
Ideal for presenting Adams dry flies or #10 Woolly Buggers in 15-50ft wide streams, the rod's progressive flex pattern absorbs sudden runs effectively. The water-based varnish finish highlights the natural bamboo grain, complemented by burgundy agate guides. Custom configuration options for guide colors and reel seat styles are available through our official portal.
