I purchased this item used a few years ago and have been using it, but I'm selling it now to replace it. It's generally in good condition, but there are some minor scratches if you look closely. The reeling feel is subjective, but it feels smooth without any salt buildup. Comes with a Gomexus reel stand (and the original cap). No box or instruction manual. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will answer to the best of my ability with pictures, etc.
