About these figures

Tap a size to see its current eBay listings at the top of the page. Bearings = ball / roller. Line capacity is the maker's guideline. PE is braided line (polyethylene fibre); its Japanese size number (go, 号) marks thickness, not breaking strength. Source: Daiwa official Japanese site, fetched 2026-09-19; conversions are ours.

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.
