Thank you for viewing. This is a 90s Shimano center-pin bass rod, the IG-High Speed Scorpion 1653R. This is a baitcasting rod. Length: 6 feet 6 inches Power: Medium Heavy Taper: Regular Taper Line: 8-16lb Lure: 10-28g Since it has no guides, it won't tangle, making it perfect for bushwhacking or night fishing. With its regular taper, it's a versatile rod, good for both reeling and pitching. When I was still in junior high school... almost 30 years ago, I got this rod. I used to go to various fishing spots on my bicycle... as I was lost in memories, I realized something very important. I've never caught a fish using this rod... I wasn't sure if it was simply because of my poor skills, or if the rod was refusing to catch fish, so I've listed it as a "cursed" item just in case m(_ _)m I'll offer a small discount to the person who catches the first fish with this rod (or uses it themselves). Regarding the condition, there are some scratches on the grip side, but I don't think there are any scratches on the rod side that have peeled the paint. The end cap also has relatively few scratches. There are scratches that go through the paint on the rod insertion part in photo 6, the grip part in photo 7, and the trigger part in photo 8. The yellow parts (two are visible) attached to the guide pipes in photo 9, including the part in photo 10, are missing three. I don't think there are any major functional problems. The bag has discolored, but the original wire bag and a non-original soft wire are included. Shipping is included.
