I am selling this rod because I am replacing it. Purchased used about a year and a half ago. Some scratches on the reel seat. Photo 5 (13, 14 from different angles) I don't see any catches or cracks, but it makes a slight noise when a little force is applied. Please check the photos for the condition. Photo 11 Small scratches. Photo 12 Small scratches, but not visible in the photo. I think it can be used without any problems, but please purchase only if you understand that it is a used item.
