Thank you for viewing. This is a Shimano Sephia BB tip run rod. - Brand: SHIMANO - Model Name: Sephia BB - Type: Tip Eging - Length: S511ML-S I have used it a few times, but I am selling it because I bought a new rod and no longer have the opportunity to use it. After use, I washed it with water, wiped it down, and stored it after drying, so the guides are rust-free and I think it's in good condition. However, it is a used item, so please understand. How about it as your first rod or a sub-rod?
