Paul H. Young Parabolic 15 ~ 8’ ~ 2/2 ~ 4.2/4.3oz. ~ HDH (DT-6) ~ EXC+ RS ~ This Detroit-made classic from the Paul H. Young Co is a real powerhouse. It features attractive flamed cane, brown silks, mildrum-style stripper, smooth & tight fitting oxidized Super -Z- stamped N/S ferrules that give a strong pop and a nicely executed varnish finish. Most original-build PHY Para 15s carry a serial number that began in 1955 around the time Bob Summers began work at the Young shop. This rod is sans seral number and was likely built in the early 1950s after the Super-Z ferrules were adopted by Young and based on the varnish, wrap work and writing on the rod, was restored by Bob. The Super Z was designed circa 1948 by Louis Feierabend who spent time on the Nat Uslan’s small Spring Valley, NY staff of talented craftsmen. The rod features a dry tip (the rod weighs in a svelte 4.2 oz with this tip) and a wet tip (4.3oz) and is so marked. There is also a few turns of red silk at the tip-top guide of the dry tip for ease of identification. The business end of the butt section has a comfortable modified Wells grip (possibly replaced by Bob), black screw D/L’ing seat wth blued butt cap, cork spacer and a HK loop that appears to be Bob Summers-issue. The side of the butt cap carries the Paul H. Young Co. Detroit – Mich die stamp. It comes with what appears to be the original bag (small holes at bottom) and the original aluminum tube made from war surplus B-24 “Liberator” aircraft tubing from the Willow Run, MI bomber plant. This fine casting instrument has a medium-fast parabolic action that throws a smooth and tight loop with minimal effort. It is rated for a DT-6 silk line, but best for me when paired with a Cortland 444 Peach DT-5/WF-6. This cool piece of Michigan history is ready for immediate use on your favorite stream. $2,995 $2,495

Tip #1 is believed to be original and is full length. Tip #2 is believed to be original and is 2 1/2” short. Tip #3 is believed to be non-original and is full length. The ferrule fit when joining the two original tips is smooth with nice pop upon separation. The ferrule fit for the non-original tip is a bit loose with a soft pop upon separation. The non-original tip section will rotate while 100% seated.. The full length tips have light sets. The business end of the butt section is fitted with a cigar grip with light ridging, cork seat with black screw D/L'ing hardware with makers name stamped into the side of the butt-cap. The butt section is simply ink stamped with model name. The rod comes with what is believed to be the original Army green bag and a replacement aluminum tube. The pleasing and easy-throwing action is a touch on the fast side of medium and throws a wonderfully smooth Cortland Peach DT-5 line with a nice blend of power and delicacy. If you’ve been after a PHY to fish with that won’t leave a large dent your pocketbook, cogitate on this… $795

H.L Leonard Model 4099 1/2 ~ 8.5' ~ 3/2 ~ 5 1/8 oz. ~ 6/7 wt. ~ EXC ~ This rare pre-fire dry fly classic is a favorite among cane rod aficionados as evidenced in this passage from the late Marty Keane in his fine book Classic Rods and Rodmakers: "Sensing a need to offer a slightly stronger #50DF, the #4099 came forward, and from it, one of the great Leonard classics, the 4099 1/2, a 3-piece 8 1/2' model, originally a tournament rod weighing 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 ounces, usually closer to the 5 1/4 to 5 1/2 ounce weight. This rod, in my opinion, deserves special mention as a superior instrument, especially for use when large dry flies, strong winds, and big water must be covered for long periods of time. Its comfortable, slightly thick grip is wisely designed and the powerful tapers allow the angler to make difficult casts with a minimum of effort. The 4099 1/2 has amazed almost everyone who has performed with it, and it remains a favorite throughout the country with amateur tournament casters and trout fisherman alike." This rod features light honey tone cane with swelled butt, 3 x 3 nodes, red silks, agate stripper, hardened steel snakes, smooth fitting N/S step down ferrules that give a nice pop and a nicely executed varnish finish. I noted that the witness marks on the ferrules are not all aligned which indicates the ferrules may have been reset and/or the rod may have been restored at some point in the past. The business end of the butt section has a cigar grip, butternut seat with N/S D/L'ing “wedding band” cap and ring hardware, petite exposed N/S WC and folding ring HK. The butt cap carries the Maker’s logo and reg. US pat off die stamp. The rod comes with the original olive bag and hang tag and brass capped aluminum tube. The comfortable medium action throws a tight loop and really came alive for me when paired with a Cortland 444 Peach DT-6 and WF-7. Hurry, this model dos not come along tha often! $995
H.L. Leonard Tournament Model 50½ DF ~ 8.5’ ~ 3/1 ~ 4 1/8oz. ~ 6wt. ~ EXC- (exceptions noted) ~ This rare pre-fire dry fly classic is a favorite among cane rod aficionados. It’s apparently all original, but could possibly have received light varnish overcoat at some point in the past. It features attractive light carmel-colored cane with swelled butt and 3 x 3 spiral nodes, avocado silks tipped red, fine Leonard furnishings including a milky white agate stripper, bronze reverse-twist English snakes, smooth and tight fitting Leonard N/S step-down ferrules that give a satisfying pop upon separation and have the dual patent stamp on the butt ferrule below the welt and properly positioned witness marks. I noted a very faint ferrule tick and the tip section has a 1-inch long repair wrap between the last snake guide and tip-top. The business end of the butt section is fitted with a comfortable cigar grip with tapered nose, dark butternut seat with N/S D/L'ing cap and ring hardware, a petite N/S WC and a folding ring HK. The butt cap carries The Leonard Rod HL Leonard Rod CO Makers Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. (on one side) and Tournament (on the other side) die stamps. The rod comes with the original olive bag with hang tag and Leonard-issue brass capped aluminum tube. This rod has a wonderful feel with an action that is just a touch on the fast side of medium. It would be a good choice for the Henry’s Fork, Big Horn, Madison and Missouri, just to name a few, and performs admirably with a Cortland 444 Peach WF-6. It will also handle a 5 if in the hands of a patient caster. Leonard rods have always been in high demand and this one, in need of a little TLC can be a “go to” rod for years to come. $495

It features an attractive shade of browntone cane with swelled butt, jet black silks tipped orange, black stripper, hardened steel snakes and tip tops, tight fitting Japanned ferrules that give a soft pop and a nicely executed varnish finish that has a few marks and dings. a few of the guide wraps are dry and I noted a faint ferrule click. The business end of the butt section is fitted with a comfortable reversed half-wells grip, black pyralin seat with D/L'ing screw and sliding hood hardware, black WC and folding ring HK. The rod comes with the original Heddon-labeled bag with stitched in tag and original black aluminum tube with remnants of the original label. The rod has an easy-throwing medium action and tosses a fine loop, for me best with a Cortland 444 Peach DT-7.

Heddon #20 ~ 9' ~ 3/2 ~ 2 1/2F ~ 5.8oz ~ 6/7wt. ~ EXC+ RS ~ This quality rod is from Heddon’s Neo-Classic era (1939 – 1948), which is widely regarded by many as Heddon’s best era of rod production. The #20 was built in Heddon’s “Handmade Rod Department” where all rods (# 20 and up) were crafted by a single rodmaker. The only exceptions to this were the #22 which was Heddon’s lowest grade rod and is hardly ever seen, and of course the two models made exclusively for Sears (#115 and #125). This rod features browntone cane with swelled butt, deep burgundy silks tipped gold, agate stripper, hardened steel snakes, tight-fitting blued N/S ferrules, and a nicely-executed varnish finish. One tip has a light set that does not affect performance. The business end of the butt section is fitted with a comfortable reversed half-wells grip, D/L'ing screw and sliding seat over a brown tenite spacer, wound over WC, and folding ring HK. The rod comes with a replacement bag and Heddon-issue tube. This smooth medium-slow to medium action throws a sweet loop and ample amounts of Cortland 444 Peach DT-6 and WF-7 line. This Dowagiac, Michigan classic will make a welcome addition to your large water/large fish arsenal. $295

The business end of the butt section has a comfortable light reversed Wells grip, cork seat with champagne screw D/L'ing hardware, exposed WC, and chrome HK loop. The makers name is stamped into the side of the butt cap. The rod comes with the original cream bag with makers label stitched into the hood and labeled aluminum tube. This is a real workhorse of a rod with a sweet parabolic action that I enjoyed casting when paired with a Cortland 444 Peach DT-6/WF-7.

Uslan Penta ~ 9’ ~ 2/2 ~ 6 ½ oz. ~ Salmon Rod ~ Serial No. 9364 ~ EXC- ~ Shortly after World War II, Nat Uslan began operations in Spring Valley, New York where he produced five-strip fly rods. This heavyweight penta salmon rod features carmel colored cane with nodes occurring on alternating flats in an upward spiral pattern (configured in the firing order of a six cylinder engine, so that the nodes are as far away from each other on adjacent flats as possible), avocado silks tipped orange, mildrum-stule red agate stripper, hardened steel snakes and tip tops, tight fitting N/S Super –Z- stamped ferrules that give a solid pop when separated and varnish finish that appears to have received a light varnish overcoat. at some point in the past. There are some light surface scratches and a few nicks in the varnish and a former owners name is inked on the rod. Of noteworthy interest is the Super –Z- ferrule that was designed by Louis Feierabend who spent time on Uslan’s small Spring Valley, NY staff of talented craftsmen. The business end of the butt section is fitted with a modified reversed wells grip, screw D/L’ing seat with a walnut spacer, large WC and HK loop. The rod comes with a light grey bag and aluminum tube. This rod is stout and not intended for the meek, and will handle salmon, steelies, jacks and pike/bass. What a nice find for the Uslan and/or penta enthusiast! $395
FE Thomas Dirigo ~ 9’2”/9’5” ~ 3/2/2 ~ 5.9/6.1 oz. ~ 7/8wt. ~ Serial No. 22 ~ EXC- (exceptions noted) ~ The FE Thomas Company built rods from turn of the 20th Century up to c. 1958-59. During their early years, and up through 1936, the rods were numbered with a die stamp on the bottom of the butt cap, usually starting with the number 1 and continuing until the end of that calendar year and then repeated again the following year beginning with number 1. At some point in the mid to late 1930s (some believe 1936-37), the FET Co. modified the die stamp to include both symbols and numbers. This FET classic has the number 22 stamped into the bottom of the butt cup and is believed to be a pre-1937 rod. In addition to the FET Dirigo die stamp on the side of the reel seat, a former (and likely original) Reading, PA owner’s name and 1922 is stamped into the side of the reel foot sleeve further delineating the rods age. This old world classic with 2 mid sections features a rich carmel-colored hade of browntone cane with swelled butt, brown silks and intermediates, agate stripper housed in a black nickel frame, reverse twist snakes, one tip has a standard hardened steel tip top guide, the other has a milky white agate tip top guide and this tip also has a 1” long repair wrap between the 1st and 2nd snake guide. The varnish, which no doubt has been touched up and possibly overcoated over the years, is beginning to craze and has some nicks and bag marks. The blued NS ferules fit smooth and tight and give a give a solid pop when separated. The business end of the butt section has a cigar grip with tapered nose, blued German silver seat with D/L'ing. slide band hardware and the hallmark FET petite blued WC with attached folding ring HK. The rod comes with what is likely the original factory-sewn 5-compartment brown bag with properly sized slot for the shorter mid, and aluminum tube. The rod has a slow wet fly action that will perform admirably in the hands of a patient caster. This century-old classic is a super find for the FET enthusiast. $595
