Purchased two years ago and used once for casting for yellowtail amberjack. I haven't hooked any fish with it. I handle my equipment with care, so in my subjective opinion, there are almost no noticeable scratches, and no rust on the guides. It's a bit heavy for me, and I don't use it often, so I'm selling it. Additional model for the "SALTIGA AP," a multi-piece offshore rod that feels like a one-piece rod. ■ Weight (g): 420 ■ Length (m): 2.59 ■ Number of Pieces (pcs): 3 ■ Closed Length (cm): 99 ■ Tip/Butt Diameter (mm): 2.8 / 18.9 ■ Lure Weight (g): MAX180 ■ Line No. (PE): MAX8 ■ Carbon Content (%): 99
