Is there a US version of the Daiwa Cast’izm T?

We could not find the Cast’izm T 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 Cast’izm T 23-365·V: 3.65 m (12'0") long, 3 pieces, 134 cm (52.8 in) folded, weighs 305 g (10.8 oz), sinker rating #10–27 (37.5–101.25 g, 1.3–3.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 9 models from 3.65 m (12'0") to 4.70 m (15'5"), in 3- to 4-piece builds.
  • The shortest packed length is 132 cm (52.0 in) (25-470·V).
  • Weights run from 290 g (10.2 oz) on the 18-385·V to 390 g (13.8 oz) on the 25-470·V.
  • At 290 g, the 18-385·V is the lightest 3.85 m (12'8") rod we list (of 23 at that length).
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥38,000–¥46,500, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #8–#35 (30–131.25 g).
  • 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.
