•  Leon started building rods in the late 1970’s. Since then he has quietly built some of the finest rods in the country. The quality of his work was so notable; it brought mention in Ernie Schwiebert's “Trout”. Ernie spoke of Garrison, then Carmichael and then Hanson as a line of succession.
•  Leon’s depth of thinking applied to the construction of his rods, is worthy of recognition. His tapers cast sublimely, as only an expert caster can translate into bamboo.  
•  After 2008 Hanson made a reputation in being at the forefront of innovation in hollow building rods. These hollow rods are much sought after throughout the world for their innovation and craftsmanship. His total production of hollow rods numbers less than 200.
