I am selling this item because I am organizing my equipment, after having purchased it used and stored it. Please check the images for any scratches or damage. I purchased this item used and have stored it, so I have not used it. However, it appears that the tip has been shortened (reference value 0.75 compared to 0.78). Additionally, there is peeling of the coating on sections #2 and #3, and there is also dirt on the reel seat. The base of the rod also appears to have been coated with clear paint. There are also scratches on the bottom cap. If you have any other concerns, please ask questions before purchasing. This is a used item, and it had scratches from the time I purchased it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item. Also, I cannot accept cancellations after purchase.
