The ceramic insert is chipped badly in a few places, the bottom quarter has got a huge chunk out of it and the upper right side has a crack all the way around and is missing ceramic there too. Sorry for the bad pictures. What do you guys think? Would you fish this rod? I believe the guy knew the tip was this bad and sold it on ebay because he couldn't sell it face to face.

Contact seller and light him up.....then go buy the correct top from MudHole. ....or even upgrade to a Torzite tip and make it better then ever. . Ranger Z520 guy.
