The 1977 Winston catalog describes the "Leetle Feller" as, 

"They are designed to make short, very accurate casts on small streams where extreme care in line presentation is desired. The Leetle Fellers are well designed rods for serious anglers to fish #3 or #4 lines under 50'."

The catalog describes the rod as having a medium action though I would describe it as being medium to medium-fast. The original red bag with label, as well as the original tube with label 98% remaining, are present. A lovely San Francisco Leetle Feller to collect or fish!
