Thank you for viewing. I purchased this item in good used condition this summer and have only used it for area trout fishing. After a fishing trip two months ago, I noticed that the second guide above the butt guide was missing (photo 2). I looked for a replacement guide but couldn't find one. I considered reattaching a guide and using it, but I don't have the motivation, so I'm putting it up for sale. Other than the missing guide, it's in very good condition, and I think it's a rod that can still be used for a long time. I coated it with Bonanza and MTCW, so it still has a nice shine. How about it for someone who can repair the guide or can ask a fishing tackle shop to repair it? I'm selling it at a low price because it needs repair, so please refrain from price negotiations. No returns, no refunds, no exchanges (3N).
