I purchased this new and used it for about 2 hours. I don't think there are any scratches as it was never placed directly on the ground. Warranty card and unused rod bag included. Development Concept: If you were to go bass fishing and could only take one rod, and you hadn't even decided on the season or fishing spot, what kind of rod should you choose!? When I asked myself this question, I realized the need to broaden the range of lures I could use. Of course, the operability of the rod to fully utilize the function of the lure is an absolute requirement. The Wizard rod was developed from this idea. Furthermore, with this all-around rod, which is in the middle of the series in terms of length, I decided on three main lures I would use. These three are C: Crankbaits, S: Spinnerbaits, and W: Worms. The Wizard CSW excels with crankbaits in shallow and mid-range areas, focusing on creating strikes through ease of lure control. For spinnerbaits, operability is important, but a resilient power is also necessary, so we adjusted the taper. The most important factor for worming is being able to swing the rod with speed when setting the hook. This is also necessary to ensure landing when targeting dream-sized bass. All-around rods tend to make you passively wait for something to happen, but with the Wizard CSW, we built the rod on the premise that the angler will initiate the attack and aggressively pursue the fish.
