Those that know the Scott Radian Fly Rod will tell you that these were the best Scott freshwater fly rod ever built. This one has hardly any outings on it. It has spent more time in the tube than out of it. Only selling to make way for a new rod and I also have two other 8wt Scott Rods that get to catch fish. The tube has no dents but has got marks on it from being in a vehicle and in a stack of other rod tubes on the shelf. Cork is in new condition. I was the one that took the plastic off the tube and took it out to the river twice only.
