PASSIONATE ABOUT COLLECTING AND FISHING COLORADO’S FINEST VINTAGE BAMBOO FLY RODS
GOODWIN GRANGER RODS
MADE BY GOODWIN GRANGER COMPANY
From the 1st Era rods (made by the man himself) through the 5th Era, Goodwin Granger had a massive impact on the rodmaking world. He was a fly and bait casting champion and leveraged that notoriety to promote his legendary rods. Go >
WRIGHT & MCGILL RODS
MADE BY THE WRIGHT & MCGILL ROD CO.
Wright & McGill purchased the Goodwin Granger Company in 1946 and by the middle of 1947, they began to offer Granger Rods for sale once again. These varnished bamboo rods gained an impressive reputation for quality and performance through the early 1950’s. Go >
PHILLIPSON RODS
MADE BY THE PHILLIPSON ROD & TACKLE CO.
Bill Phillipson began his rodmaking career working for Goodwin Granger and became the manufacturing supervisor upon Goodwin’s death. He was the brainchild behind the Granger Registered grade rod. After a failed attempt to purchase Goodwin Granger & Co, he started Phillipson Rod & Tackle Company which he successfully ran into the early 1970’s. Go >
