I purchased this rod new several years ago and have used it for sea bass and rockfish in rivers. I'm selling it now because I haven't had a chance to use it recently. There are some minor scratches on the grip end and some shine on the grip. There is some rust at the base of the guides. Please check the pictures for confirmation. Other than that, the blank is in good condition with no noticeable scratches. Thank you. Type... Bait rod Fishing type... Lure
