This is the early model [WF-8-F] from when Snow Peak first started handling Monick. ● It was only wound onto a reel once and then rewound and stored without going fishing. Due to long-term storage, there seems to be some yellowing? Please forgive any other oversights. ● The tip side has a braided loop, but it was just placed over and does not have a sleeve or anything attached (I think it came off and was lost during storage). ● Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about even the smallest details. ● Thank you to those who understand the above.
