Recently I picked up this 8 ft. Model 50DF Tournament Leonard. The rod is in excellent +condition. I tried it with a five wt. and it casted just fine. Then I fished it with a Wulff bamboo taper 4 wt. and this rod sings.
New rod.

Re: New rod.
Nice! The 50 DF is supposed to be the Leonard of Leonards, and the Tournament rod even better. I expect it is somewhat lighter than a standard 50 DF. Should be a great rod for summer in the Catskills! I've been fishing four weights myself. Perfect for low water!

Re: New rod.
Wow, I'm jealous! I've always wanted one but can't afford it. So, I'm making a 50DF Tournament tapered rod.
Re: New rod.
Very nice reel too. I have one like that myself, from the late 20's to early 30's period.
