A fantastic example of a rare and desirable Seamaster model

6'6 2/2 4wt

the action of this rod is a crisp dry fly and slightly faster than my current models

These wrap colors are not the standard Leonard colors so the rod could have been custom ordered with these wraps from the factory or the rod could have been refinished at some point

The reverse half wells grip measures 5 7/8" in length with moderate soiling and a bit of light ridging

made prior to the next version in approximately 1880 that incorporated protective german silver bands to protect the hard rubber

Copper or brass wire wraps at the ferrules with burgundy tipping

The agate guide is free of cracks

This is the 3 3/4" diameter model

The red script remains as clean and bold as the day it was written

Norm McDonald was a master machinist and an avid sport fisherman for most of his life

All wraps are sound as is the varnish
