Okay, this rod is about two months old and I've decided to upgrade. Should have bought what I really wanted. In any case, the rod is in great shape and still looks brand new. This is a Shimano Crucial 1 piece 7'6 MH flipping stick. I bought it brand new for 150. I'm letting it go for 125 firm. Please let me know if you're interested. 415-298-0683, Binh I'm in San Jose
