I am selling this item because I am upgrading my model. The reel has been modified with a Libre balancer and handle knob. I purchased it last fall and used it for various types of fishing, including eging, sea bass, and rockfish. I took great care of it, so there are only two barely noticeable scratches, and the condition is good. There is no gritty or grinding feeling, and the reeling feel is the same as when I first bought it. I also have a spare spool, which I will include. The original box is also included. I am open to a small price reduction.
