Sib,
You have a Garcia Conolon 8' 5 wgt. I have one of those also. My daughter calls it-her broomstick. I didn't think anybody had one of these except me. I learned how to fly cast with that rod. I had thought about selling it. Isn't it wonderful that we have this bulletin board so we can find friends who have similiar rods like we do? I honestly thought I was the only individual in America who had one of these. I wonder what "their going price" would be on E-Bay.
