Long time member of The Classic Rod forum now rekindling my interest in fibreglass, specifically my first fly rods - the Garcia Conolon rods of the 1970s.

Cheers to all!

Bill

The Conolon rods are under appreciated. They can be a bit wiggly, but they certainly are fun.

They also can be picked up relatively cheaply if you keep your eyes open.

Welcome and enjoy the ride.

I am very excited to see what this guy brings to the table.
Welcome my friend.

I too am a fan of the Conolon rods - Especially my 8 footer which says Fanwing 411 on it.

Fun 411 search - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6421&p=41537&hilit=Fanwing+411#p41537

Bill,
My first rod was a Conolon too, so I know where you're coming from! Before that I had to borrow either a steel telescopic, or an eagle claw from a friend. When my dad learned I was interested, he gave me his feralite (FF756-4). What's funny is I preferred the Conolon! Mine was a 7 1/2' 6&7 (N547-A) four-star, and I still have it.
