Thank you for viewing. This is a Shimano Nessa XR S108M+ and a Daiwa rod stand. I have used them 5 or 6 times since purchasing them. The rod has a scratch on the handle (see photo 3), but there are no issues with its use. There is no rod case. I will pack the items with the utmost care, but I will use a box that has been modified from a box another rod was shipped in. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.
