Thank you for viewing. This is a listing for a Shakespeare EXCELLENT Ⅱ No. 1501 2.25m #5-6 fly rod. I purchased it as a used item, but I never had the opportunity to use it, and it has been stored as part of my collection. There is no outer box, and the rod bag is not the original one, with some dirt and writing. The rod itself has some small scratches and dirt, and shows some signs of use, but I believe it is in a condition that poses no practical problems. After purchase, it has been stored in a locker indoors, but please understand that this is a used item stored by an amateur, without an outer box, and please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such matters.
