Answer
Jeffery,

Wright and Mcgill is a fishing tackle company out of Colorado. They date back into the 20s. They acquired the Goodwin Granger Rod Company around WWII, to improve their fly fishing business.

Its hard to tell your rods age. Their earlier fiberglass was brown, followed by yellow in the 60's and 70's.

if you want to send a photo it may help
