Leonard Prefire 36H/37H
by Leonard
Hi All Here is a taper from a Leonard 36H/37H for you short rod nuts (as I am). I have seen this 6' 2pc. model marked 36H or 37H. I have been told by an ex. Leonard employee that the salesman in the retail stores would fill out the hanging tag as the rods were sold so many are mismarked. This rod was made in the 1950's and is sweet.A much nicer fishing tool than the 36L which at 1 oz is very impractical. This rod handles a #3 very nicely. .223 is at 28.75 at the beginning of the grip. 4 1/2" Grip 3 1/8" Butternut C&R seat

This rod has a "Balanced / moderate action" stress profile. Stress varies significantly across the rod. Some sections work much harder than others, creating a pronounced action character. Peak stress is well below the failure threshold, giving this rod a generous safety margin.
