Wright & McGill Granger “Victory” Sold!
GV8040 (8’ 0” – 3/2 – 4 oz – 4/5 Line)
Granger nickel silver up locking reel seat stamped Wright & McGill is in excellent condition-6 ½” Granger western style grip has some soiling but is excellent with NO hook gouges or ridging-Nickel silver winding check-Nickel silver ferrules are all tight to the rod and w/o clicks (male ferrule on mid has been reset with witness mark showing on wrong flat)-Guides are all standard Granger and in excellent shape-Wraps are of proper orange & black jasper for this model-Sections are all full length with a slight set to the left in one tip-One tip section is a replacement and has a slightly lighter taper (wraps also appear a shade brighter in color on this tip)-Finish is excellent and appears to be original on rest of rod-Comes with Original bag and W&M replacement metal case correct to the period
I tried this rod out using a Cortland Classic Sylk DT4 and a Cortland 444 Classic Peach DT5. I started with the DT5, which the rod felt good under at all distances ranging from 15-50 feet. When I switched to the DT4 Sylk I easily picked up another 15 feet, shooting line out to 65 feet. Again the rod felt responsive close in at 15 feet but really excelled at longer distances easily shooting line out to 65 feet! A better caster could easily empty the spool with this rod/line combination if that’s your thing. Both the original and replacement tips performed equally well during casting with no discernable difference.
This rod is in excellent condition and stands ready to fish!
$650.00 (Includes S&I Within the USA)

Heddon #17 (Black Beauty) Sold!
9’0” – 2F – 3/2 – 5/6 Line
Down locking reel seat with blackened hardware and black Pyralin insert-Half wells grip is in excellent shape-Wound over (black) winding check-Hook keeper may be non original-Script reads #17 just above grip and Heddon which spirals across the butt section in the Classic Era design-All guides appear to be original and are in excellent condition-Windings are of black silk trimmed in orange-Finish is excellent-All sections are full length and straight-Comes with replacement bag and replacement aluminum case
I gave it a good work out with 4, 5 and 6 weight lines and felt it threw all of them very well loading with all three line weights. WTBS; I liked it best with the Wulff TT6. I would describe the action as medium-to-medium fast, flexing into the butt section with plenty of reserve power there. The tip and upper mid are very soft (to my liking) and are a definite tippet saver! IMHO this would make someone a great streamer or nymphing rod. I could see myself sitting in my float tube pulling streamers over big trout or bass with this one!
This is an exceptionally clean Heddon 9 footer in the rare and hard to find 2F configuration! It has been refinished at some point and condition remains excellent.
$350.00 (Includes S&I Within the USA)
