Reel seat shows some tarnishing and a few teeth are missing as stated above. Bakelite butt cap. the ferrules are size 16/64, the fit is very nice. The rod has a fast action befitting of a baitcaster for pitching heavily weighted lures. The rod weighs 5.20 oz. Included are the original bag and tube. The bag is free of any tears or rips. The tube features the Mt. Carmel label 95% intact. This is a very nice addition to any collection of the Edwards' fan.
