This is an ex-display Daiwa Newera SLR salmon fly fishing rod, 13 feet long, in a 4-piece construction, rated #9. It is being sold at a clearance price because it was a showroom display model and comes without the original rod bag or tube. The rod itself is new and unused, and carries the full Daiwa manufacturer's warranty.
Design and Technology
The NewEra SLR range was engineered for greater casting distance and accuracy. The blank uses X45 Bias Carbon technology, where high-grade carbon sheets are laid at opposing 45-degree angles. This resists twist during loading and ensures even energy transmission for precise line control. The V-Joint system provides a constant taper profile internally, avoiding the power loss that occurs with standard overlapping joints. Each rod was tested and tuned by Hywel Morgan to deliver the rated line weight and handle a range either side of it.

Buying Ex-Display Stock
Ex-display items are showroom or end-of-line stock that retailers clear to make room for new season products. They have been handled or mounted on a rack, but are not used on the water. Always check the listing for any missing accessories, in this case the rod bag and tube are not supplied, but the rod is fully functional and covered by the manufacturer's guarantee. This makes ex-display fishing tackle a cost-effective way to own a high-end rod at a significantly reduced price.
