Thank you for viewing. I purchased this rod approximately 15 years ago and used it about 3 times. The guides have been replaced with titanium K-guides. The 26,250 yen was the cost of the guide replacement at the time. I have only used it once since then. There is no rust, cracks, or chips. The cork shows almost no fading or wear. I always rinsed it with water after use. I'm selling it because I no longer use it, and I hope someone will cherish it. This rod is no longer available. It's a high-performance lure rod, lightweight, highly sensitive, and perfect for long-distance casting. The original guides are also included. Thank you. - Model Name: morethan DISTANCE MASTER 103ML - Line Test: 8-16lb - Lure Weight: 1/4-3/8oz - Country of Manufacture: MADE IN THAILAND
