Is there a US version of the Daiwa Analystar Light Hirame?

We could not find the Analystar Light Hirame 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 Light Hirame MH-245: 2.45 m (8'0") long, 2 pieces, 127 cm (50.0 in) folded, weighs 117 g (4.1 oz), sinker rating #20–80 (75–300 g, 2.6–10.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 2 models from 2.25 m (7'5") to 2.45 m (8'0"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 117 cm (46.1 in) (Light Hirame M-225).
  • Weights run from 113 g (4.0 oz) on the Light Hirame M-225 to 117 g (4.1 oz) on the Light Hirame MH-245.
  • Carbon content 84–85% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥32,000–¥32,500, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #15–#80 (56.25–300 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.
