Purchased new in May 2024. Used about 5 times, then stored after being replaced in an Ocea Plugger rod case. The outer coating of the top guide has peeled off. It peeled off when the rod was leaned against something, but there have been no line troubles since, so I believe it can still be used without issue. There is some slight rust on the thread of the 7th guide. The grip shows signs of use from being placed in a rod holder and from use. There are no other noticeable scratches or damage on other parts. Expired warranty card and rod bag are included. Direct transactions are possible within Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures. Please inquire. For transactions from distant locations, I plan to ship via Sagawa Express in a 220 size package.
