Is there a US version of the Daiwa Analystar KISU?

We could not find the Analystar KISU 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.

About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The Analystar KISU MH-165·J: 1.65 m (5'5") long, 2 pieces, 87 cm (34.3 in) folded, weighs 67 g (2.4 oz), sinker rating #10–30 (37.5–112.5 g, 1.3–4.0 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 3 models from 1.65 m (5'5") to 1.75 m (5'9"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 87 cm (34.3 in) (Kisu MH-165·J).
  • Weights run from 67 g (2.4 oz) on the Kisu M-175·J to 74 g (2.6 oz) on the Kisu H-170·J.
  • Carbon content 91–93% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥28,500–¥29,500, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #5–#35 (18.75–131.25 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.
