What's even more important, to me, is that since it was a 1967 model rod, it was probably purchased by Col. Schubauer as he was working to help found our TU chapter, which was chartered in 1968.

I'm now more interested than ever to get it out, line it up, and fish it.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mickfly) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/59469 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:55:47 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/59440/t/Need-Info-on-Garcia-Conolon-acquisition.html#reply-59440 Your little rod is a real fun one for sure. One of my all time favorites for close work under tree cover along our local river. While its not a Phillipson, it is one of the few glass 6 1/2ft rods that has alot of us looking for them. Their a fishing rod, not really collectable, at least not yet, everyone I know that has one fishes them. They are reasonably low cost for an honest to goodness fly rod, so you can take them where you wouldn't normally take your high... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (flyfishing4goldentrout) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/59440 Wed, 07 Jan 2009 09:55:45 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/59400/t/Need-Info-on-Garcia-Conolon-acquisition.html#reply-59400 feeds@yuku.com (mickfly) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/59400 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 15:51:39 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/59397/t/Need-Info-on-Garcia-Conolon-acquisition.html#reply-59397 That's Old Yankee Rod Smiths and I am glad I helped rekindle you're appreciation for fine glass.
The right set up is simple a correct balancing reel and a 5 or 6 weight double taper and you're off and running.
You should have fun with the 2535 B no worries overloading it with a 7 weight for bass or where presentation is less of a issue.
As Joe mentioned it will toss a bullet line.

Yeah, Joe, you keep feeding my glass habit. The little Diamondglass three weight has seen plenty of action in Sloan Creek, here behind my house, and I'm still experimenting with the right setup for the Yankee Rodsmith Conolon Wulff one piece that started it all. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mickfly) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/59391 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:14:56 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/59388/t/Need-Info-on-Garcia-Conolon-acquisition.html#reply-59388

The rod is not a collectible in it self but with the history you have shared it may be collectible within your TU chapter.
The value of the rod is around 100 bucks in pristine condition with the original bag and tube maybe a bit more.
If it were mine I would take it fishing as that's what is was made for and who knows maybe some good luck from the Col.goes along with it.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (OLD YANKEE) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/59379 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 11:09:30 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/59378/t/Need-Info-on-Garcia-Conolon-acquisition.html#reply-59378 Those are neat little rods. I have the 2535B. The five "Dots" are likely stars, which makes it the 5 star model, which was pretty much to-of-the-line. Mine is a bit too fast for my liking esp with a 6wt, but still is a fun, acurate tool, paired with an automatic reel mine has caught a zillion fish.
,Collectable, well, they are well regarded here, but really is a FISHING rod. and sell in the $40 to $100 range depending on the phase of the moon.

The rod's in excellent condition. It's certainly been used, but lightly so.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (mickfly) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/7587 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 10:48:21 GMT
