Used approximately 10 times per season. There are scratches from normal use, but no deep scratches or cracks that reach the blank. I washed and wiped it down carefully after each fishing trip, so there is no rust at all. This is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a new or like-new item. For sea trout, sea cherry salmon, flatfish, sea bass, etc. *Instant purchase available
