Goodwin Granger Model 7030 Aristocrat Bamboo Rod 6' Dark stained tiger maple spacerFor sale here is a very scarce 7 foot Goodwin Granger Aristocrat Model 7030 bamboo rod. Two sections with two tips. The rod is one of the "original" Goodwin Granger 7030s circa 1939 41. Very desirable with the short lived "narrow band" slide band reel seat and hammer handle grip. All sections are full length and straight. It appears that one tip (the one with the lighter colored wraps) is a replacement. The micrometer measurement differences are 0. 20
