Thank you for viewing. This is a rare item as it has been over 20 years since its release. While there is a sense of aging, there is no severe wear and tear, nor hardening of resin parts, and the mechanism is in good working order. I have cleaned it simply for the listing. I was using it in freshwater until recently (mainly for catfish fishing). Please feel free to ask any questions. Shimano Scorpion Metanium Aldebaran Calcutta Daiwa Steez Zillion Alphas Bass fishing
