No scratches marks issues with the rod. The tube has a small blemish on stencil from riding in vehicle or home storage. Fished once. Cleaned and put away. This is one of the nicest fast action rods I've used. A real pleasure to cast. This is the one for battling tarpon, GT, large redfish, and more!

There are few environments that can offer the challenge of the salt. This rod was built to meet that challenge.

The Hardy Marksman Z, with its unrivalled blend of feel, power, recovery and down right durability has been designed in conjunction with some of the finest guides, anglers and legends in the saltwater world.

From Gold Cups to grand slams and a thousand different challenges in between, the Hardy Marksman Z is the right rod for that right moment in the Salt.

Includes original soft sleeve, protectors, hard tube. Will be fully insured and shipped ASAP
