This is a circa 1958 Conolon Custom that had seen better days. I completely stripped the blank except for the grip and the two original logos (seen in photos). I used the original guides and wrapped them with vintage silk thread originally made for Phillipson rods. The color match was darn close. The rod is 7' with and ultra flexible tip. You can use this to fly fish or put on a spinning reel. The reel seat is solid brass adjustable. It is now paired with its original rebuilt Mitchell 300 reel and works as good as new if not better.
