Answer
Hi Raymond,

I don't have as much information on the older conolon rods as I would like to have, but I believe the Garcia Conolon rods come from the 1965-1975 era.  Condition of the rod would set its value.  In Good-Very Good condition maybe the $20-$30 range; in Excellent-Mint condition maybe the $40-$50 range.

I don't know much about reels.  I would suggest doing some searching on the online auctions for indicators of current vlaue.  The Mitchell 300 is a good reel and there are lots of them around.

Thanks,  Joe
