I Googled by the mod number , Daiwa VIP53T:7 , and got a Japanese auction site too bad I don't know Japanese Daiwa may still sell these in Japan.
This thread raised my curiosity so I emailed Daiwa about this series of rods and I will report back if I get a reply. And I did some research, they are E-Glass rods.
Quantum has brought out an E-Glass rod, its the KVD Tour crankbait series. Just looking at the specs they appear to be similar to the VIP series only red in color and not the Daiwa honey color. Not real expensive either, Tackle Warehouse has them on sale for $130, right now.
