Is there a US version of the Daiwa Arahoshi Muten?
We could not find the Arahoshi Muten 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.

- The Arahoshi Muten 16·J: 4.80 m (15'9") long, 6 pieces, 90 cm (35.4 in) folded, weighs 115 g (4.1 oz) (maker's figures).
- 10 models from 2.40 m (7'10") to 6.30 m (20'8"), in 4- to 7-piece builds.
- The shortest packed length is 68 cm (26.8 in) (8·J).
- Weights run from 57 g (2.0 oz) on the 8·J to 146 g (5.1 oz) on the 21·J.
- Carbon content 91–99% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥66,000–¥185,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
- 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.
