for $400 bucks it better be a killer rod but I need a new surfboard for the summer so I could use the cash. I used it for about 1 year and then broke it in half and thay sent me a new one so if I sell it to you I can get my new board and you get the sweetest spinning rod for more than $75 off what you would pay at any shop and it is bran new never used in the cloth bag and every thing how about $325
