Reel does have some minor boat rash, please see all pictures.Reel was placed on a rod and tested.All functions worked as they should but one.After the bail is opened to cast the reel and the handle is turned to close the bail and retrieve the line, the bail will sometimes only close about halfway.Other times it works just as it should and closes all the way.Maybe the reel just needs to be oiled and serviced. (Not serviced or oiled by me.)To me this is not a problem as I always close the bail by hand.But I wanted buyers to be aware of this function of the reel.Reel will be shipped with the USPS Ground Advantage.I ship the same day of payment or the next business day.I never add to or pad my shipping cost, the shipping costs are determined by the USPS and the buyers' location.The handle will be removed from the reel for safer shipping.
