Need Help Identifying Part Number Of Garcia Conolon Rod

[oldmanjoe]

   Ok that helps , He likes the 21xx

When I blow up the label , This is what i see .   21 or possible 24 .    21 was more likely because of the spacing between the numbers !!!      Yet I can`t find a catalog with those # .

Eagle Eyes Joe, I think you're on the right track.  I opened picture 3450 and zoomed in and noticed that the top of the number "1" from the P/N appears to match the same font of the #1 in the 8-1/2 rod length and 2-1/2 ounce lure weight.  See snippet below.  I also just happened to notice that the sticker is ripped through the letter "D"...

Here is the label of the 2159A rod so you can see the larger font 2 and 1 next to each other.  Notice how the thickness of the 2 gets skinny at the top (12 o'clock position).  This narrow area of the font can be seen on the rod we're trying to identify.  Not sure if I explained that very well...

Update: I added a zoomed view of the 2159A.  The red arrow points to the area I'm referring to.  It looks like this is where the sticker is torn on the rod we're trying to identify.

Here are the Conolon images from my server all wrapped up in one pdf file.
I hope it helps.  I uploaded a newer version sorted by years.

I don't think it's a 2. If it was torn at the middle of the curve the 2 would interfere with the 1. Also on the 2159A the model number is in a more cursive font whereas on the mystery rod it's more blocky, like the line/weight specs. Compare the thickness of the horizontal and vertical strokes on the 5s.

I also found this file in my archive which I don't recall ever seeing.

I am looking at it 200 %  the clear finish and decal is scraped away .  The D split .
When I try to drop the blown up picture to the post it goes back  28 %

jtwill98, thank-you for posting the catalog pages.  There is a lot of good information in there but unfortunately I didn't see my rod in any of the listings.  Ugh 

[oldmanjoe]

At this point ,I would now worry about it .   Even thou fish are in schools , they don`t read labels   

[Walleye Guy]

Haha, that's true!  It still bugs me that I don't know for sure what the part number is so I'm still hoping that someone out there in alantani land will post the original ad one of these days.  Fingers crossed...

You bring up a good point boon.  The 2159 rod sticker is more of a cursive font whereas the mystery rod sticker is more of block font. 🤔  Check out the 6 in the 2159 sticker lure weight...specifically the tip of the 6.  I wonder if if my rod is 6145-D?

    Don`t look over there , look here .   In regards to the font two different hand writings .

I would agree the model most likely 2145-D, could still be a [3,6,8,9]145-D but not 2545-D based on the closeup.

If I had to place a wager, it would be on 6145D.
