由 Will Hovarter It sounds like you’re describing a Tenryu K.Bullet SD 10’15″0 fly fishing rod with a case and bag, which has some slight scratches. Here’s a breakdown of what you might want to consider:
Key Details:
– Brand & Model: Tenryu K.Bullet SD (likely a high-performance fly rod)
– Length: 10 feet (10′)
– Line Weight: Likely designed for a 10-15 weight line (heavy-duty fly fishing, possibly for saltwater or large game fish)
– Action & Power: The “0” might indicate a specific taper or action (e.g., fast action).
– Condition: Slightly scratched (cosmetic wear, unlikely to affect performance).
– Includes: Case and rod bag (good for protection and storage).
Things to Check:
1. Scratches: Are they just surface-level, or do they indicate deeper damage (e.g., cracks in the blank)?
2. Guides & Reel Seat: Ensure no bent or damaged guides and that the reel seat functions properly.
3. Flex Test: Gently flex the rod to check for unusual noises or weak spots.
4. Originality: Verify if all components (case, bag) are original Tenryu accessories.
Potential Value:
– New Price: If available, Tenryu rods can be expensive (possibly $500+ for high-end models).
– Used Price: Depending on condition, expect 30-60% off retail (scratches may lower value slightly).
– Market Demand: Saltwater/heavy-weight rods have niche buyers; check eBay, forums, or Japan-based marketplaces.
Selling or Buying?
– If Selling: Highlight the rod’s performance specs and mention that scratches are cosmetic.
– If Buying: Negotiate based on condition and compare with similar used models.
