Wright & McGill Bamboo Granger Victory fishing rod 7030 Includes two tips, sock and original tube.
I am proud to offer this wonderful Wright and McGill 7ft, 3oz Granger Victory bamboo fly rod. This rod comes with two tips, and all sections are straight and this rod is ready to go. Ferrules fit nicely and all eyelets are in original working order. This is a two piece rod with two tips, both of which fit perfectly. This is the third and final of these rods that I am offering. The rod appears to have had very little use (check the cork), but when I received it there was a split in one section of the bamboo as shown in the ninth picture. After months of research I found a shop that had the skill, experience and patience to repair this rod and make it like new. The shop is/was South Creek Limited in Colorado. They checked the rod from top to bottom and made the repair and took the weeks required to cure the repair just as when this rod was crafted in the 1940's. When I spoke to them, I could hear the reverence they had for this particular rod and the care they took made the high cost of the repair justified. If you look at my final pciture, you see the repaired section. I wanted the rod repaired in such a way that it would fish as if it were new, and the repair had to blend into the existing excellent condition rod. They said one of the tips was original and the other appeared to be a Wright and McGill replacement tip.
This rod has the rich caramel color that resulted from the unique tempering process that gives these rods both their legendary action and their beautiful, timeless appearance. This is your chance to get this much sought after rod. You decide if you take it to the river, or put in on the wall.
The cardboard tube is original does show some normal wear, but is in pretty good conditon. The label on the tube has some water stains that I tried to capture in the pictures. The canvas bag is included and looks like it was made yesterday. This rod is in great condition. You will be proud to fish with this piece of art, or you can display it and see the envy in your friends eyes.
