Is there a US version of the Daiwa Cast’izm?
We could not find the Cast’izm 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 123 cm (48.4 in) (18-345·R).
- Weights run from 260 g (9.2 oz) on the 18-345·R to 370 g (13.1 oz) on the 25-430·R.
- Carbon content 98–99% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥49,000–¥61,500, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #8–#33 (30–123.75 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.
