Thank you for viewing. I purchased this item new and used it for about 1 hour and 3 fishing trips. I believe there are some dirt and minor scratches from use. In my subjective opinion, there are no major scratches, bent guides, or rust. This is a used item, so please purchase only if you understand this. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition. No claims and no returns. Please refrain from price negotiations.
