Daiwa amorphous whisker - dictator z rod

[ZfishermanR1995]

I’ve just purchased a set of Daiwa amorphous whisker dictator z rods, similar to the rods seen in the below link (mine are 12ft 2.75lb tc): https://www.vintagecarpfishingtackle.com/products/3-x-daiwa-dictator-z-amorphous-whisker-old-school-carp-rods-13-3-00lb-t-c-sale

I understand they’re older rods, can anyone give me a bit of general background information on these such as what years they were sold or if they were considered mid/top range rods?
