Rod organization due to end-of-year decluttering. These are all favorites of mine, and while I have many reasons not to sell them, I'm listing them because I have too many rods. 【Specs】 ● Length: 7 feet ● Action: Medium ● Lure Weight: 1/4–1oz ● Suitable Line: 8–20lb ● Material: Glass ● Foregrip cork repaired ⸻ 【Description】 This is the VIP 53T, a model that predates the "LEGEND VIP" series, known as a legendary Daiwa rod. It's an old glass rod that's rarely seen nowadays. Unlike modern high-elasticity carbon rods, it's characterized by: ・Bending firmly throughout the blank ・A feeling of "receiving" the lure's resistance ・High follow-up performance after hooking a fish Especially good with: ✔ Crankbaits ✔ Spinnerbaits ✔ All types of moving baits It's a rod that allows you to enjoy the moving bait fishing of that era. It has a depth that can handle 1/4–1oz, and in today's terms, it's a "medium glass rod with a wide range of applications." As it's positioned as the "predecessor" to the Legend VIP, it's also an interesting model in the history of Daiwa rods. Recommended both as a collector's item and as a rod to enjoy the bend of glass in actual fishing. ⸻ 【Condition】 ◆ Vintage rod ◆ Signs of use appropriate for its age ◆ Foregrip cork repaired due to age-related separation ※ Please check the photos for the condition ※ Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect condition due to it being an old rod. ⸻ This is a rod that will appeal to those who want to enjoy the "weight, stickiness, and flavor" not found in modern rods, and to those who love the good old days of Daiwa rods.
