Nice rod! And an interesting one too.

Here's why: the rod is marked "DeLuxe" on the cane, but "The Granger Rod" on the slide band reel seat between the knurlings.

imageA few years ago, I found a barrel full of bamboo sections at a decorators fair. The gal said she put them out for people touse as decorator rods. As I looked thru the sections, I found a butt section of this rod and further sorting came up with the mid and two tips.

Great tip on the Brownell's Triple F for the hardware... I love the stuff and have been using it for years for polishing and "blending" varnish but never tried it on hardware.. I've got a couple of projects sitting on my bench right now that will benefit from your tip... thanks a lot,
best regards,

I can help with that. email Paducahmichael@aol.com. The fellows on the board will (hopefully) vouch for me if you need references! I have a real soft spot for older Grangers.

In any case, a GREAT find and a really fun rod to fish. Good Luck with it!

3-3ft pieces with second tip, all pieces are the same size,

probably 5 in condition, varnish has crazed and left in some spots, slide grip not a screw on.

No id on rod, wrapped in red/ gold at beginning and then just red

No tube, just a fairly worn rod bag, no id or tag on it,

Thanks, I enjoy flyfishing and found this for 18.00 at antique shop nearby.
