[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 490150, member: 21536"] I have/had a Garcia Conolon surf rod. I'm not sure of the exact age, but that rod was older than my son (in pic below) so I would say at least 35 and maybe even 40 years. I liked that rod a lot and was still using it up until earlier this year when I got a new fancy graphite surf rod. I did replace the tip and the guides but other than that it held up well. I gave the old Conolon to my son. The only thing I will say is it is a lot heavier than the newer high-tech material rods -- important for an old guy like me. BTW, I bought an old Mitchell 300 at a garage sale last year. It is one of the French made ones. Paid $15. When I was a kid, having a Mitchell 300 was a pretty big deal. Took me to 70 years, but I finally got one! Haha. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Conolon.png"]111638._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
