Purchase Date: January 2024 (Purchased new at a fishing tackle shop) Number of Uses: 3 times Used about 3 times in an area, but I was also using other rods, so the actual frequency of use was quite low, and there are no noticeable scratches. (There may be some minor scratches that I missed) It's in very good condition, but it's still a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a new item or if you are very particular about condition.
