I'm a rodbuilder but thought this might be a good buy. It needs the tip and last two guides replaced as the inserts are missing. Guy wants 45 bucks. I don't know much about bass rods especially casting rods as i specialize in light and ultra light spinning rods. Getting into bass fishing a little and would use this for myself. Thanks for your thoughts.
You can them one new for under $100 anywhere & American Legacy for less than $90. I don't think it is worth
the money for being used and what it needs. Besides, it is a pitchin stick and only 6'10. You can do much better for your money.
Just my opinion... and we all know what opinions are like......
What model is it and what does the handle look like?

6’10 sounds great for a pitching stick. The best rod I’ve found for pitching is 6’8 legend tournament.You can them one new for under $100 anywhere & American Legacy for less than $90. I don't think it is worth

That is too much money considering it needs a tip and 2 guides replaced. It is a BuCoo that retailed for like $110, it has micro guides and is very light and it isn't a bad rod. This rod in good condition would be worth $50 - $60, with a bad tip and 2 guides it is worth $25 - $30.
If the OP is a rod builder, he likely has the tip and replacement guides in his inventory of parts.......45.00 doesn't sound terrible if you can use the rod but I would try and talk him down to 35.00.
Question everything!
that's probably the Eatkins Jig rod Jim Eatkins helped design if im not mistaken.
pretty good rod in my opinion.
That looks like the old Bucoo (the good ones, that was made in USA) I still use that same rod for close quarters with a 1/4oz swim jigs.. If you have all parts in inventory that is pretty good deal IMO.. the micro guides do bend easy on those rides.
I truly believe the Bucoo Micro Guide rods were 129.99 new. With regular guides they were 99.99 new. If you can repair at very little cost then I think you got a decent deal.
The best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer up someone else.
I helieve that is a micro guide rod and the tip and guides are a easy fix. I say thats a good deal.
Cheaper to keep a kid in tourney fishing than paying attorneys to keep them out of jail !!

Even if it is a good deal (which I don't think it is), who would want a 6'-10" heavy action flipping stick?
That is the best 3/8th ounce jig rod I've ever used. Kicked mine over board this summer, would happily buy a new one if it was still made.
