◇ Accessories/Original case, cloth bag

Purchased about 30 years ago. The grip was self-repaired about 10 years ago due to deterioration. I intended to keep using it after repair as it was my favorite, but due to circumstances, fishing became difficult, and it has been stored since then... I apologize for offering an item that has been personally modified, but I am listing it as part of decluttering.

《Regarding Grip Repair》
The hole was filled with wood putty, and due to a slightly larger chip on the end part (corner), 5mm was removed and replaced with a rubber cork ring, making it a modified item. (See photos ← ←cut) I used this method, though unconventional, to preserve the original reel seat parts. (Please check photos carefully.)

◎ Aside from the defects on the grip, the blank has very few scratches, no tip repair history, and no damage to the guides (wrapping), so I believe its condition for use is good.

⚪️ The SAGE-XP is a renowned all-around fast-action rod that balances power and sensitivity. It remains a popular model today, alongside SAGE's SP from the 90s.
