The best way to describe this rod is “true elegance.” Although it was built to compete with Leonard and Payne's higher end rods, it was one third their cost and cast as well or better than either one. The tan silk wraps are accented in a brown silk and covered by the finest marine grade spar varnish. It continues the Granger tradition with its fine color, tapers and balance, creating a rod that will delight any fisherman. Available in 7', 7 1/2', 8' and 8 1/2' lengths. Each comes in an individual rod tube and custom sock. Key features include: Nickel silver reel seat (heavier gauge than original) Original silk thread wrap colors and patterns Hardened steel guides Optional agate and “agateen” stripping guides Multiple layers of a marine grade spar varnish finish $1,695
