A nice Goodwin Granger Special bamboo fly rod, 8', 3-piece, 2-tip, and built for either a #4 or #5. 4.5 ounces. Used condition but all original and full length. The varnish has some chips missing that require attention and the ferrules have cosmetic casting cracks to the wraps but ferrule fits are excellent and the rod sports the original olive silk wraps. The action is semi full flexing and I would try a #4 line for those who care for a quicker action, otherwise a #5. Steamed ammonia dark tempered cane with three up node spacing. Olive silk wraps and polished nickel silver ferrules. High arch high speed steel snake guides. The grip is 6 3/4" long and styled to what I would call a blunt nose western. The all nickel silver uplocking screwlock has a soldered pocket cap and is stamped with patent numbers and "Made by, Goodwin Granger Company, Denver". Original olive colored cloth bag and original grey enamel painted aluminum tube. About 75% of the original Granger paper data sticker remains. Nice rod for someone who can fix the small varnish issues.
