A refinished 8'6" Granger Special fly rod, 3-piece, 2-tips and built for a #5 line. Medium fast action. This rod has been refinished and would be in great fishing condition were it not for a 2" long delamination at the swell. The tips are glued with resorcinol while the butt and mid have not suggesting the tips are replacements. Nice varnish with pale olive wraps. 3 up node pattern. Ferrule fits are good and the rod is straight. 5 1/2" western-style grip. All-metal down lock slide band and soldered pocket cap reel seat. There are a few of the typical dings in the bottom of the reel seat. The reel seat is stamped "Made by, Goodwin Granger Co, Denver". The price reflects the fact that this rod needs some home handyman attention. The rod comes in a replaced tan bag and an aluminum tube.
