I used this rod for about three months after purchasing it used. I'm selling it because I bought a new rod. Please check the manufacturer's website for detailed information. My impression of using it is that it's lightweight and has good sensitivity. It's a high-cost-performance ajing rod that can easily handle black sea bream of the "year-class" size (around 1 year old). There's a bit of rust-like discoloration at the base of the guides, but it's probably the adhesive that has discolored. Please check the photos.
