HL Leonard Model 4099 bamboo rod 8' 3/2 #5/6 8'6' The ferrule size is 17/64For sale here is a H. L. Leonard Model 4099 bamboo rod. 8 feet, 3 2 for a 5 or 6wt. 4 7 8oz on the tag, but 4. 7 oz on my scale. Fair condition overall. The mid ferrule clicks and the varnish needs to be redone. The wraps are still in good condition. All original and full length. The mid section has a set and the tips also have very slight sets. A nice restoration project for a desirable Leonard model.
