I purchased this item used, but it was in beautiful condition and I used it as a sub. There are not many scratches. It's an old model. The epoxy on the bat guide is slightly lifting, but it is not cracked. If you would like more detailed photos, please comment. The print on the rod bag is peeling off. When shipping, I will put it in a hard tube case. Please read my profile before purchasing. #AreaMinnow #CHASE&Bite Puzzle
