This is an ex-display Daiwa Infinity DF X45 carp rod, model number IDFX452234-AU, measuring 12 feet with a 2.75lb test curve. It is brand new and unused, having only been on show in the retailer's showroom. The rod carries the full manufacturer's warranty but is supplied without a rod bag, which is reflected in the reduced price.
Design and Technology
This rod shares the same MT profile as the original Infinity DF models, with the application of X45 technology in the main compression zones. This improves power delivery, recovery, and torque resistance, leading to better distance casting accuracy. The blank behaviour is further enhanced by Minima 4 guides, which use a high-diameter configuration starting with a 50mm version. The custom build finish is maintained throughout, giving the familiar DF look.

Buying Ex-Display
Ex-display rods like this are often showroom stock or end-of-line items. They are sold at a discount because they may have been handled by customers or lack original packaging such as the rod bag. The rod itself is unused and fully functional, making it a cost-effective way to own a high-specification carp rod. Always check the condition of the guides and handle before use, as display items can have minor marks from handling.
