Thank you for viewing. This is the legendary 05 Exist 1003. It has been used in freshwater, and I am downsizing as I get older. There is no grinding feeling in the gears, but there is some noise and a slight gritty feeling. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to these issues. The current spool is a 2004. The spare spool is a 1503. Both are RCS. There are some scratches from being set down, but I have taken care of it. I would be grateful if you would continue to take care of it. Please ask any questions you may have before purchasing.
