Question
my rod
hi i am trying to find out if this old fly rod is worth anything it is a Garcia conolon flyrod b542-c
AnswerJustin,
Your rod is either fiberglass (1950s to 70s) or graphite (1970s)
There is very little history written on either.
I belive it does not exist and I have looked.
There are people who know about these rods- try your fly shop .
You might sell it for as much as $50, depends lot of condition and length
There is history of the Conlon fly rod on u-tube:

and

Two pieces and shorter than 8 foot rods sell for more.
Be wary of people saying your rod is worth 100s unless they offer.
Luck,
Mac
