Used for area trout fishing. There are some minor scratches overall. Please check the images. This is a high-gear model. I used it for fishing with minnows, bottom fishing, and topwater fishing. The rotation feels smooth, and there's no gritty feeling or grinding, at least to my untrained eye. I think this is suitable for someone who wants to use it aggressively! If you are looking for a reel that is close to new and pristine, I may not be able to meet your expectations. Please use it at managed fishing areas as the season begins. Area Trout Daiwa Reel
