This is a pure titanium piton for striped beakfish! Titanium is recommended because it's rust-resistant, lightweight, and durable! It's been used for many years, so there's a sense of use! Since it's made of titanium, the scratches aren't that noticeable, but it's a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things! It is also listed elsewhere, so please understand that sudden cancellations or deletions may occur!
