After my father died I found a couple of these rods he had kept on his houseboat. We used them to catch carp and catfish. I took them to a good rod refurbisher and we decided one was worth restoring and fishing. I have used it often for trout and have enjoyed dancing with many fine fish. It is not a Leonard by any stretch of the imagination but it is a fun rod to use. It forces me to slow down and enjoy the dance and the rythm of the day.
