I used this for SLJ. The usage period was about 1 year. There are no noticeable scratches on the main body or grip. There is a mysterious scratch in the 10th photo. The grip has some signs of use. As a precaution, this rod got stuck after being connected once and has been stored as is, so I will ship it without forcing it apart. Please purchase with your understanding of these points. - Brand: Yamaga Blanks - Type: Light Jigging Rod - Grip Material: EVA SeaWalk67UL Jig 15-45g Cast ~25g Line PE 0.4-0.8
