This is a Gamakatsu Chinu Kyogi Special 3. The rating is 0-gou, 50. I've only used it a few times after purchasing it and have kept it in storage. I was hesitant to part with it because it's a rod I've always admired, but I'm letting it go as part of a decluttering effort. I haven't placed it directly on the ground. There are some minor scratches on the grip section of the butt section. If you're concerned about any guides or joints, please let me know and I'll provide close-up photos. Thank you.
