This is an OLYMPIC Kyokusenpo 18-shaku rod. I'm not sure if it's visible in the images, but I loved the beautiful black and blue marble finish (image 8). However, I often use my 15-shaku, 17-shaku, and 19-shaku rods, so I rarely use the 18-shaku and am letting it go. There are no noticeable scratches, but there may be minor scratches from normal use. Please understand that this is a used item. The grip has been washed with detergent, so there is no odor. I don't know much about the current situation, but OLYMPIC and Mamiya-OP rods are said to be rare these days. Returns are not accepted to prevent swapping. I will add more images if you have any concerns, so please comment. I have the cardboard box from when I purchased a sea bass rod online, so I will pack it using cushioning material.
