This is a vintage Japanese-made Daiwa Jupiter 9143-9½ salmon / sea trout fly rod, most likely dating from the late 1970s to early 1980s. The markings show:

• Daiwa Jupiter 9143-9½
• 2.85m
• AFTMA 8/9
• 2-piece fly rod
• Original cloth bag included

The deep amber/brown blank and whipped intermediates are very typical of higher-end Daiwa salmon fly rods from that era. The large butt guide and full wells handle indicate it was designed for salmon and large migratory trout fishing with a single-handed 8/9-weight line.

Condition appears very good overall:

• Blank looks straight and clean
• Rings and whippings appear original
• Minor cosmetic lacquer marks only
• Cork/foam handle in good usable conditio
