Is there a US version of the Daiwa Analystar Madai?

We could not find the Analystar Madai 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 Madai 300·J: 3.00 m (9'10") long, 2 pieces, 154 cm (60.6 in) folded, weighs 165 g (5.8 oz), sinker rating #20–120 (75–450 g, 2.6–15.9 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 3 models from 2.35 m (7'9") to 3.00 m (9'10"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 122 cm (48.0 in) (Madai 235·J).
  • Weights run from 145 g (5.1 oz) on the Madai 235·J to 165 g (5.8 oz) on the Madai 300·J.
  • Carbon content 54–57% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥35,000–¥36,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #20–#120 (75–450 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.
