#7Mike;
Take a look at those tapers again and see if maybe you want to change the designations.

#8I agree--perhaps 9043 as 5 weight, and 9050 as 6 weight were the intention in the tapers listed above; thanks for listing them. I think I could make a 9053 to throw a 5 weight line with enough line in the air, but it wouldn't occur to me to call it a 5 weight; more of a 7, no? Tom Goodmann

#9I?ve been researching & cataloging all of the 9? Granger tapers & information I could get my hands on in the last week or two; from RodDNA, Rodmaker?s Listserv, On-Line Hexrod, David Ray?s collection, Ray Gould?s ?Tips & Tapers? & Michael Sinclair?s ?Restoration Handbook?, and a few rods I have measured myself. According to Sinclair there were only 3 Granger 9? tapers, all of which were 3 piece rods: 9043 (9? 4 ¾ oz. 6wt.), 9050 (9? 5oz. 6wt.) & 9053 (9? 5 ¾ oz. 7wt.).- The names indicating length and rod weight. I have seen quite a few misnomers from the available sources listed above - like 9063, which is probably indicating a 9? 6 weight 3 piece from whoever measured the taper? Also, I?ve seen a lot of the listed tapers with the Grade name, i.e. Victory, Special, Aristocrat? I believe the tapers the Mike listed above are the 9053 & the 9050 respectively; they are also the tapers and names listed on David Ray?s Taper Archive. I have yet to find a taper I believe to be the 9043, which may be a bit rarer ? I don?t know? I do know I see alot of the 9050?s & a few 9053?s listed on eBay on occasion, maybe someone with a little more Granger background that I could pipe in.

#10Would someone please let me know what the 7'6" 3pc 4wt Granger Special rod designation is? eg- 7633 or such..
I'm very new to Grangers and just acquired a 1 tip 3 pc in this model and love it. Just want to know what I have.
Thanks,
Jeremy.
