Samples from the 1970's era advertizing , will indicate the huge range of rods that were available Unfortunately GARCIA did not follow the lead from ABU in Sweden where all new products released each year were marked as NEW / NYTT and no indication was given of discontinued lines

The front drag seemed to be quite smooth and the roller on the bale arm did a good job of trying to eliminate line twist when I loaded it with mono

Time would show Garcia would produce more rod models/applications for different fishing styles and even more quality levels than ABU did
