Is there a US version of the Daiwa BJ Ikada AIR?
We could not find the BJ Ikada AIR 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 shortest packed length is 91 cm (35.8 in) (Ikada AIR 135MT).
- Weights run from 63 g (2.2 oz) on the Ikada AIR 135MT to 70 g (2.5 oz) on the Ikada AIR 155MT.
- Carbon content 35–37% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥40,000–¥41,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Fishing from a raft or a stocked sea pond — mostly a Japanese pastime.
- 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.
How the sizes differ
- Compared with the 135MT, the 155MT is 20 cm longer and 7 g heavier, packs to 111 cm (vs 91 cm) and costs ¥1,000 more in Japan.
