Japan version vs export version
The Daiwa 2026-27 US catalog lists the BG SW in 7 sizes (5000-H, 6000-H, 8000-H, 10000-H, 14000-H, 18000-H and 20000-H). The first five share a size code with the 8 Japan-market sizes, with the same 5.7:1 gear ratio, 5+1 bearings and max drag (26.4 lb ≈ 12 kg / 33.1 lb ≈ 15 kg), and weights within 6 g. The US 20000-H (5.3:1, 44.1 lb ≈ 20 kg, 34 oz ≈ 964 g) matches Japan's 20000 (965 g); 18000-H is US-only, and 6000-P and 8000-P are Japan-only. Source: Daiwa 2026-27 overseas catalog (printed), p.43.
