There is a bald spot on the back. Otherwise, there are no noticeable scratches. It has been adjusted to allow for a dead slow retrieve. With 20 lb fluorocarbon, it may sink at long distances, so please use nylon or adjust the weight. I have about 100 other items for sale. Please take a look if you'd like. No price reduction. #OSP #Issei #Deps #Megabass #Jackall #Imakatsu #Nories #GaryYamamoto #Evergreen #Bottomup #Dstyle #ReidJapan #GanCraft #DRT
