This is a Shimano Surf Leader SF 405DX jointed surfcasting rod. The tip is not missing, and there is no damage to the reel seat or guides. There is minor cracking on the casting grip. The butt cap is not seized. It comes with balance weights but no rod case. There are scuffs and paint peeling from use, but no damage that would prevent its use. Please judge the condition of the item from the images. Thank you.
