This is a 19 Antares with a normal, left-hand handle. It has 14lb fluorocarbon line spooled on it. I purchased it when it was first released and have only used it about 3 times, for a total of about 5 hours. I don't see any noticeable scratches. I think it's in very good condition. The reeling feel is also very good. This is just my personal opinion, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things. Thank you for looking!
