I have used this item about five times since purchasing it. After each use, I have washed it with water and applied grease. There are small scratches from use, but I believe there are no issues with its functionality. There is no grinding or scratching sensation, and I think it's in good condition. Please assess the condition from the photos. Please purchase with the understanding that this is a used item. Please examine the images carefully before purchasing. The reel stand has been replaced with a Gomexus one, but the original cover is also included. 21 Ultegra C5000XG Brand: Shimano Reel Weight: 285g Reel Gear Ratio: 6.2 Maximum Drag Force: 11.0 kg Number of Ball Bearings: 5 Maximum Retrieve Length: 101cm Reel Handle Length: 55.0 mm Saltwater Compatibility: Saltwater Compatible
