Thank you for viewing. I purchased this item used. It originally had many scratches. They appear to be scratches from normal use. Please check the photos. I believe it should function without any problems for actual fishing, but as it is an older item, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I look forward to purchases from those who are satisfied with the condition. Silent, immediate purchase is welcome ^ ^ Thank you. The ALIVIO 2500 is a spinning reel that combines smooth operation and durability. - Model: ALIVIO 2500 - Type: Spinning Reel - Handle: Right-handed - Handle Material: Rubber Grip
