Is there a US version of the Daiwa Analystar Karei?

We could not find the Analystar Karei by name in Daiwa’s 2026-27 US catalog (printed, July 2026), so the sizes and specs on this page are the Japan-market ones. Sellers who ship from Japan are the usual source for this exact model in the US; a US dealer may still carry a related model under a different name.

In short

Daiwa Analystar Karei (アナリスター カレイ) is a Japan-market rod, listed under Japanese boat fishing; ¥27,000–¥30,000 in Japan before tax. 5 models from 1.60 m (5'3") to 2.25 m (7'5"), all 2-piece.

About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The shortest packed length is 84 cm (33.1 in) (Karei 82 160·R).
  • Weights run from 86 g (3.0 oz) on the Karei 82 160·R to 128 g (4.5 oz) on the Karei 82H 225·R.
  • Carbon content 82–89% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥27,000–¥30,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #25–#80 (93.75–300 g).
  • Japanese party-boat fishing. Styles and tackle are specific to Japan.
  • Sizes marked go (号) are the Japanese standard. For sinkers one go is exactly 3.75 g, so we convert it; for line it is a diameter class rather than a breaking strain, so we print the maker's number as published.
  • Specs are Daiwa's published figures; conversions to imperial are ours.
