Gamakatsu Gamaiso INTESSA G4 1.5-5.0m This is the flagship model of Gamakatsu's磯竿 (iso-zao, or saltwater rod). I purchased it because a shop assistant at my usual fishing tackle store, who strongly recommended Gamakatsu products, and I wanted to own Gamakatsu's flagship model at least once. I used it several times right after I bought it, but since I mainly use Shimano for my iso tackle, it ended up being displayed on my rod stand at home alongside other rods. Recently, my interests have shifted to other types of fishing, so I had it appraised for the first time at a買取店 (kaitori-ten, or second-hand goods store). Although it was evaluated as a beautiful item, I felt a sense of sadness about it being passed on to someone who wouldn't appreciate its value, which led me to list it for sale this time. I am meticulous, and I have always used my rods and reels carefully, so there are basically no noticeable scratches. However, upon closer inspection, there are a few small scratches on the 3rd section and some signs of use on the end grip. I have uploaded photos of those areas, so please take a look. Otherwise, as you can see in the photos, I don't think there are any noticeable scratches. The top guide has been replaced with an IM guide at the fishing tackle store. Also, please note that the rod bag has deteriorated over time. Regarding the rest, please understand that it is not unused.
