I purchased this new about a year ago and only used it once or twice on my own boat, so there are hardly any scratches. I looked closely, and there seems to be no rust on the guides. The EVA grip is also clean as shown in the photos, and overall I believe it is in beautiful condition. I am selling it to organize my tackle. It will be packed in a cardboard tube, so I don't think there will be any damage during shipping. Thank you for your consideration.
