SHIMANO Aerocast 405 EX This is a Shimano parallel joint surf rod. The tip has not been cut, and there is no damage to the reel seat or guides. Any noticeable scratches are shown in the images. It's an older rod, but I think it can still be used. Please take a look at the photos as this is a used item, and purchase with your understanding. Thank you. The rod will be wrapped in bubble wrap and shipped in a plastic case.
