animalbarrie Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 After a long time of searching I was finally able to secure a Daiwa 40-425S. Need to hurry and get it built and strap on the Saltiga. Jim McFeeley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s in new condition but this blank was manufactured a long time ago, not sure when it was made exactly. I just sold a new Ballistic and it was a great rod.

Ksjohnson Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Jim, can not find it anywhere. Is this possibly the old grey predecessor to the maroon ballistics. I notice the package said parabolic action on it. ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I touched base with Nick and he will be able to build it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ksjohnson Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 Animal, that CTS is one beautiful Rod. Nick sure builds some fine sticks for sure. That might be the last new daiwa blank left in existence of that model. I have heard nothing but good things about those old rods. Post up a pic of it please when you get it wrapped. Sorry Jim, looks like nothing for you and me. Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Jim, looks like nothing for you and me. Scott You are probably right. I’ve actually never even seen one of these in person. It was never even taken out of the wrapper. It’s a time capsule.
