I purchased this new from a fishing tackle shop about two years ago. I used it for egging about a few times a month, excluding winter. The line is 200m of 8-strand braid. I took good care of it, but the scratches are in photos 4, 5, 6, and 7. I don't think they are noticeable, please judge from the images. I had it overhauled in January of this year, and the bearings were replaced for a fee. It has not been used since the replacement and spins smoothly. Please only purchase if you can abide by no returns and no claims, as this is a used item.
