You can always try WF6 or 6.5, but the 7WT line will load it deeper, and depending upon your taste in how you like a rod to flex trying a 7.5WT line might work well too.

Experiment and tell us what you think.
BTW does the Conolon have a metal spigot ferrule?

I have the 8ft version of that rod and love it, one of my favs. Did it come with that Medalist?? Score.

6 or 7 weight, whatever turns your key.

Nice find; nice reel match.

I'm sure that rod, like many of its type, will work well with either weight, and I'm not sure which might be better. Nevertheless, one point to think of: if your feel has been developed on graphite rods, a 'glass rod, especially of that vintage, may feel "loaded too much." Relax and let the rod do the work, using a progressive application of power; don't rush the rod. You will enjoy it more with whichever line you prefer, but give the 7 another try if not previously familiar with the feel of a 'glass rod as it loads.

The best line weight for Conolons is all over the place. I have two very similar rods, a gold one which is a solid 7/8, and a brown 4 star with the same spigot and grip which claims to be a #7, but is definitely better with a 6wt. The rod will let you know, just ignore anything written on it or advice from anyone with "the same rod". They are seldom the same.

If your planned use is to fish in close to take advantage of the short length, I'd fish a 6-wt or even 5-.
If you want to cast to the length of its capability, only the 7-wt will get there.
And agree with the great-looking combos.
