Been awhile since I've put a picture in so hope this works.
Dark cane and no other markings on the rod. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ActionJack) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/138173 Sun, 10 May 2009 12:30:29 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/138160/t/Putting-Granger-back-on-the-Rod.html#reply-138160 feeds@yuku.com (firehole) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/138160 Sun, 10 May 2009 11:14:35 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/138150/t/Putting-Granger-back-on-the-Rod.html#reply-138150
We talked about my Granger Champion a couple of SRGs ago. The slide band reel seat on mine just has the Goodwin Granger Company markings, but no model information. I still have the tattered original bag that has 1/3 of the label left stating it was a GC9050. The ink stamp was apparently lost long ago and like Michael, I chose to leave it off. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (scott bearden) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/138150 Sun, 10 May 2009 09:47:33 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/138099/t/Putting-Granger-back-on-the-Rod.html#reply-138099 2 Bead Pupa wrote:

Michael , I guess that I didn't realize that WM used sliding band seats. I thought that those were the earlier Grangers. Russ The Champion rod always had a sliding band reel seat, right from the very beginning (1935, IIRC). I think it started that way to use up all the SB seats when GG switched to the famous UL reel seat. When W&M changed the model to Stream & Lake, they went to the UL... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (PaducahMichael) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/138099 Sat, 09 May 2009 19:49:42 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/138097/t/Putting-Granger-back-on-the-Rod.html#reply-138097
I guess I should have stated that it is a Goodwin Granger Rod. I dont know what Era but maybe a Denver Special. Nothing on the reel seat stating the grade. I think to be right I should put it back as original as possible. So, no markings, red wraps tipped black. Easy fix, thanks for your input.
Its Appreciated

The Granger Champion did have a gum rubber stamping that stated "Granger Champion". The reel seat did NOT have the model name, only the company stamping. Other than using a rubber stamp, I don't know of an authentic looking way to re-mark the rod. Years ago I considered having a stamp made for each of the Granger models. After reflection, I realized that to keep it legal, I would probably need W&M's permission to duplicate the markings, and IF they... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (PaducahMichael) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/138069 Sat, 09 May 2009 16:44:39 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/138052/t/Putting-Granger-back-on-the-Rod.html#reply-138052 http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/16361 first.

When the rod came to me it only had a butt and mid section. No tips at all. Now its starting to take shape I fabricated to new tips and matched the cane color pretty well. Dave Leclair made me a set of ferrules (great job) and now starting the wrapping. The previous wraps were red with black tips so I guess it is a Champion.
My Question is: is there a good, easy,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (ActionJack) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/24360 Sat, 09 May 2009 08:37:46 GMT
