Any help identifying this Leonard?

I believe this fly fishing rod is a Leonard. Looks like it might say “HIT HARD” but the metal is pretty worn. Any help? Didn’t measure the overall length. Looks like first eyelet has been replaced at some point, but I’m far from an expert. This rod belonged to my grandfather. I have the original tube but no sock. There’s no serial numbers or other markings that I saw, but not too sure where else to look.

Thank you for any help!!
