The Daiwa Newera SLR is a 15-foot, four-piece salmon fly rod rated for a 10/11 line. It was designed with a clear aim: to cast further and more accurately. This ex-display example is supplied without its rod bag or tube, but is otherwise new and complete with the Daiwa manufacturer's warranty.
Design and Construction
The blank uses X45 Bias Carbon technology, where high-grade carbon sheets are aligned at 45 degrees in opposite directions. This resists twisting during loading and transmits energy evenly down the rod. Combined with a responsive front end, the Newera delivers precise line control and efficient energy conversion. The internal V-Joint overcap system keeps a constant taper profile, avoiding the swell at female joints that disrupts power flow.

Buying Ex-Display
This rod was part of a shop display and shows no signs of use, but as it has no original packaging, check the blank, guides and reel seat for any marks before heading out. The rod carries the full Daiwa warranty and is offered at £299.99, down from £699.00. It has been fine-tuned by Hywel Morgan, and will handle a range of line weights either side of the stated 10/11. For transport, you will need a suitable rod tube or bag.
