This is the 2017 model. There are scratches overall. There is a small scratch on the spool, but it's not a scratch that catches on your fingernail. There are also scratches on the bottom of the body. There are no scratches that would lead to line trouble. Please check the condition in the photos. After each use, I washed it with water and applied oil. The reeling feel is smooth, with no noise, no grinding, no scratching, and no whirring sounds. The PE line is Shimano Sephia? brand new 0.8, 170m spooled, but I cut a little when setting up the leader. I am looking at it with an amateur's eye, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to details. No returns, no refunds, no exchanges. *Price is not negotiable. If it doesn't sell by today, I will remove the listing.
