This was originally a 2-piece rod, but the handle section (where the reel attaches) was damaged, so I am only selling the tip section (1-piece). There are minor scratches and dirt, but the guides are not damaged and I think it can still be used. If you were looking for a tip section because yours broke, how about this opportunity? I do not want to do business with those who do not understand used items, so please make your judgment from the photos. If you have any questions, please comment before purchasing.
