Leonard 36L Baby Catskill
by Leonard
I think the Baby Catskill Bob is talking about is the 36L. 6' 2/2 1 oz. > #1/2 line. Marty Don - To the best of my recollection it was a 4 weight but it might have been a 3 also. I never cast the rod just did some repair work and got the measurements in the process Bob This was measured over varnish a long time ago. You will have to figure out ferrule lengths as did not note them. Section length is 28 1/2" 3 3/8" reel seat .650 dia; 4 1/2" grip .700 dia at reel seat .750 in center .250 at rod shaft.

This rod has a "Parabolic (butt-flex)" stress profile. Stress varies significantly across the rod. Some sections work much harder than others, creating a pronounced action character. Peak stress is in the optimal working range. The rod is efficiently utilizing the bamboo's strength.
