My rod rating designations are as follows:
• (M) Mint - Appears to be unused/brand new
• (NM) Near Mint - As above with minor exceptions which are noted
• (EXC)Excellent - Shows signs of light to medium use
• (VG) Very Good - Shows signs of normal use
• (G) Good - Shows signs of heavy use. May be fishable as is, but
likely needs work
• (F) Fair - Needs work prior to being fished
• (R) Restore
