◆ Warranty card is included, but not filled out. ◆ This item has been used only a few times and is practically new, with no scratches. ◆ Upon purchase, there was a slight sound from the joint between the blank and the reel seat during casting. As a precaution, I sent it to the manufacturer (Evergreen) for inspection. They confirmed there were no issues, so there are no problems with its use. (The instruction manual also states that this sound is a structural characteristic and does not affect functionality.) ◆ Please feel free to ask any questions.
