I took this rod on two fishing trips for use with a Tai Rubber setup. I didn't use it much. I have maintained it after each use. There are no scratches or damage. The knob shows no shine. The line is Shimano Tanatoru, size 1, 300m, but I vaguely remember it being cut by a pufferfish, resulting in a break about 40m up. I've also retied the line, so the length has decreased by several tens of meters. The PE line is just a bonus. I handle it with care, so it's in very good condition. The box and all accessories are included. Thank you.
