Sorry for not posting much, but I've had my head down and nose to the grindstone in the shop lately. Getting ready for the FF show in January. Here is the latest offering.

The Granger tapers need no introduction. This is the 7633 from the Goodwin Granger era. It throws a sexy 4 wt. loop with a dry fly. I kept the coke bottle grip and winding check similar to the original rod. Wrapped in antique gold and tipped in scarlet, adorned with an exceptional looking agate stripping guide to match This one has deeply blued N/S hardware over a banded claro walnut insert. $1000.

You know, I got rid of all of my cane and am not a boo guy any more, but that is a nice looking rod. Good luck with the sale!
