This rod is hard to find, perhaps due to limited stock. It's a baitcasting rod, and the long length is a rare specification. I don't think there are any particularly noticeable scratches, but there's some epoxy overflow on the second guide from the bottom since I bought it, and the grip has a vertical linear scratch. Overall, I think it's in pretty good condition. I also have other items for sale, including Shimano, Daiwa, Abu Garcia, and Tailwalk. I will wrap the semi-hard case in bubble wrap and attach the shipping label for dispatch. I would appreciate it if you could understand that this is a used item. I've created a tag because I have more items for sale.
