i imajine it is the older one due to being second hand! not sure how to tell the difference in the tip as has been wrapped with reflective tape!
I was thinking that a 525 would be a good choice as would like a reel with a ratchet and find that penn reals stand up to abuse better than abu's in my experiance |

alreet mate,the newer G5 has the full tip section smooth by tip section i mean the top half of your rod,i.e rod in 2 halfs,coupled to a supermag it will be spot on for you mate |
