The rod blank is white and has three silver tone metal guides held in place with wrapped thread. The tip top is also silver toned and held in place with tape and wrapped with plastic thread. The reel features a black reel foot, drag knob, line spool, anti-reverse switch, and spool release. It also features a silver tone bail arm and a black plastic handle with silver tone metal armature. Molded and silver painted text on the reel body reads [Berkley] next to a black tag with silver text that reads [415]. The text is just above the handle attachment. On the other side of the rail body is a round, white label with a red heart at the center with [Berkley] printed in white cursive text at the center. Red text surrounding the heart reads [SPINNING REEL] at the top and [NO. 415] at the bottom. The rod’s clear fishing line is broken and loosely wrapped around the reel.
