I have acquired a vintage Garcia Conolon Companion 2510 7' medium action spinning rod that has never been used and is in pristine mint condition with the brown cotton sock and hard case,all super mint condition.
How can i find out what its worth and where is the best place to sale it?
Also what would be the perfect vintage Garcia reel to go with it?
I know it is over 30 years old but don't know where to find out just how old it is ,i'am thinking early 70's maybe?
Thanks for any help.

Depending on the rod's action a Mitchell 300 may be a match.
The more learned may correct me on that.
Some spelling errors can be corrected by a vowel movement.

Those were very "soft" rods with a lot of bend down the whole length from tip almost to the reel. That makes them ideal for crankbaits or any lure with treble hooks. Not for single-hook lures like plastic worms that require a lot of oomph to drive the hook home. A Mitchell 300 with 10-12# mono would be ideal.
Can't help with value, but those old glass rods are in pretty high demand these days.

I guess watch ebay?
