I purchased this rod new for deep-sea fishing and used it about three times. After each use, I rinsed it with water and wiped it down with a gloss agent for storage. Please assess the condition of the guide epoxy cracks, etc., from the images. There is some corrosion and scratches. Due to the length of the rod, shipping will be cash on delivery (payment upon arrival). However, if you prefer shipping via Mercari, I can adjust the price to include the shipping cost.
