I've used this rod quite a bit and loved it, but I'm selling it because my fishing interests have changed and I no longer use it. There's a crack in the paint, or a similar scratch, between the 5th and 6th guides from the tip. See photo 7. It has been used without any problems, but I'm selling it as-is, no returns accepted. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
