Hi all,
I have recently acquired a 3 piece Daiwa feeder rod as part of a deal from a high street pawnbrokers.
I was only interested in the reel, a Shimano XT4000FA ( the original metallic green type) and for less than forty quid I couldn't leave it behind.
Anyway on to the rod unfortunately it came without a rod bag, but having studied the rod it has no model name stencilled on it, but it has the armlock feature with a dupion foregrip, genuine fuji reel seat and maroon/ crimson whipping with a double whipping on the ends of the rod sections which push in. The blank has x weave running throughout and each section is 43" long making the assembled rod just a bit over 12' 6". The only graphic is above the foregrip it just states Daiwa with the Union Jack below and GT. Britain
Having put it together and testing with line through to a weighted small bucket it seems like quite a nice rod, and probably ideal for chub or tench.
I suspect it is from around or before 2012/ 13 when the reel came out, any ideas gents?
