...with apologies to Jeff Wayne whose excellent "War of the Worlds" album has just been played on the radio... This is one of two more rods that made their way into WVVFM this month, via a well-known auction web site. I knew the rod was of US manufacture from the signature wraps, and at one point even convinced myself that it could be an F E Thomas. As it is, it turned out to be a Leonard, minus a few guides and its original butt cap. Like last months purchase, it brought a friend along as well... The only thing about this rod that is NOT unusual is that it is made of Greenheart. The way the handle is waisted, the guides and the locking ferrules are all completely without precedent - at least as far as I have so far been able to find. Clearly a quality item, it seems this rod is going to need some research...
