Alexander Grant vibration rod

| putting the heat to him |
I recently bought a 14′ Grant greenheart rod. I must say the first thing that I noticed is the rods weight, much lighter than a cane rod of the same length. The grip was much smaller and easy to handle. The rod also had more power than almost any of the graphite rod of its length. Plus the rod has a TON of Steelhead juju. Hooked 2 fish in the first 10 min. of casting. Here is a photo for proof.

The rods are rare but you can find then now and then, I highly advise that if you get a chance to cast one do. This rod has taught me more about rod actions and power application. the line I have been using on it was a 60′ Carron jetstream.
Know nothing about rods, but I have a vibration rod / 4 piece which was left to my father still in its cloth bag with the label Grants of Aberdeen / “suppliers to the prince consort”
how long is it? what kind of shape s it in? sounds like a good find
Hello Travis,
I live in southern Germany in front of the Alpes. Fish big lakes and be interested in that Vibration Rod.
Find your words from 2010 on the net.
Are you still fishing this Grant rod and how are you doing.
CADNO in Wales makes a silk line for that rod !!
Cheers
Willie
