Mike, I believe my Granger is very much a "Middle of the Road" rod. It think it was "mass" produced by Wright McGill using Granger's taper. Even so the rod in good condition is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $300 today. It would be much different had I gotten one of his custom rods instead. They go for considerably more from what I have read.
If the rod your brother is giving you isn't a collectors item then I would definitely have fun fishing it! Just remember that they were made to fish with and not sit on a shelf! :) Gary Johnson -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 10, 2001 2:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: I don't have the patience for bamboo and silk line. Hey Gary. Bamboo is great it is just the fact that I don't have the patience for the silk lines. Since they evolved together in the early days of fishing I lumped them together. My brother took a bamboo rod in on trade that he is going to give me next time I see him. I don't recall the brand but it wasn't one of the famous rods. Seems to be one of the middle market rods that came out. Not exactly a Sears special but not a Granger either. It apparently has 3 tips and is excellant condition. I am looking forward to casting it.
