SCOTT A2 10wt 9’ft ~ 4pc Fly Rod!! The rod is in MINT condition!! The rod still has plastic on the cork grip! The pictures are made to show the rods condition, not to hide anything. But with that said, please don’t mistake the lights glare on the rod for scratches, they are not scratches. Scott rods are not only beautiful, but made in the USA, can’t go wrong! I ship priority mail which usually takes 3 to 5 business days! THANKS JASON
