Purchased in 2014 and used about 5 or 6 times a year. Used only a few times during the 5 years from 2020 to 2026. Since it wasn't used much, it's in very clean condition for a used item. There is no gritty feeling at all. No box. The line spooled is Pitbull 8+ size 0.8, 150m. It's almost new, as it's only been used once or twice.
