This is a Shimano Scorpion DC 151XG. I've used it a few times for black sea bream fishing and about three times for bass fishing. I always rinsed it thoroughly with water after use, so it doesn't seem to have any salt damage. The handle has been changed to a Gomexus carbon handle. The original handle is also included. Personally, there's nothing particularly wrong with it, the DC works fine, and I have no concerns, but this is just my personal opinion. No returns or exchanges, please.
