I purchased this rod for a recent Tarpon trip to Hobox Mexico, but due to high winds and heavy seas never did get a chance to use it for large migrating Tarpon.---We fished for Baby's in the Mangroves instead.----This rod is NEW, and was casted for only 20 minutes on the beach.---Had I known that I would not use the rod, I would not have removed the plastic covering on the cork handle.---It is absolutely NEW, with no scratches, or marks.------If interested, email me at abshagenb@gmail.com and I will send a few pictures.--------$460 inc FREE shipping in CUSA
