ABOUT THE GRANGER DELUXE

The Granger DeLuxe grade was first introduced in the 1st Era along with the Premier and the Special. The first recorded mention of the DeLuxe appears in Granger’s 1922 advertisements. DeLuxe rods from the 1st Era have an ornate signature wrap pattern and full intermediate wraps.

The DeLuxe grade name was changed in the 2nd and 3rd Eras to “The Granger Rod“—which was the top of the product line during that time period.

In 1930, the DeLuxe name was revived and used to designate the 2nd highest grade in the lineup behind the Premier. The 1931 Catalog describes the DeLuxe this way:

“The Granger DeLuxe is a truly high grade rod, ranking with the most expensive rods made. The rod is made by our own exclusive process, and meets the exacting standard or perfection we maintain for our very finest rods. It never fails to win the sincere approval of an experienced fisherman.”

Goodwin Granger DeLuxe rods of the 4th Era were available in 7 1/2′ to 10′ lengths (3 oz. to 6.5oz.) and priced at $35. There were no Tournament models in the DeLuxe grade. Each was outfitted with a sliding band reel seat with “GRANGER DELUXE” inscribed between two knurled bands. Grips were Coke Bottle shaped. Windings consisted of black & white jasper tipped in gold with 3 additional gold trim wraps.

Changes to the DeLuxe rods in the 5th Era included the new uplocking reel seat and a Western (Reverse Half-wells) style grip. The 1939 Catalog also introduces a new 2-piece 7′ model available in the Registered, DeLuxe and Aristocrat grades only.

Production of the Goodwin Granger Deluxe grade lasted until the company closed its doors during WWII in 1941.

Wright & McGill Rod Co. purchased Granger Rods in 1946 and resumed production of the DeLuxe grade beginning with the 1947 Catalog. It was offered in 7′ to 9.5′ lengths (3 oz. to 6.0oz.) and priced at $60. The DeLuxe grade made its final appearance in the 1952 W&M Catalog.
