Took a gamble at the local thrift store and picked up a Garcia conolon rod for $9.99

Prices are all over the place from cheap to expensive. Did I make a good buy?

Not bad. They are listed for enough more online to profit if sold.
Today's superbraid lines require more durable line guides but for a monofilament user or someone who wants one for nostalgia, a buyer may turn up.

I found. Website that listed a bunch of Garcia rods. And those rods carried a nber of stars to tell of quality. Ie. 1 star. Entry level. 4 stars. Top of the line. It also looks like. Every different model carries a different sold value. I didn't see what star level. Or how much this particular one sells for. My rod is model. B-557a

I see reference to a fiberglass Garcia Conlon fishing rod from 1962

Just an update. The rod brought $42 on eBay. So not a big score. But still profitable
