Purchased new. Used 4 times. No damage affecting use, and the tip has not been shortened. Guide alignment marks are written with a marker pen (should be removable with thinner, etc.). The position of the 5th guide from the top is not ideal, so epoxy has been thinly applied to adjust it for better balance. Considering the above, I am offering it at a low price. No returns, no refunds, no exchanges. Please refrain from price negotiations. Thank you. Target species: Black sea bream/snapper
