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 Cast’izm 23-365·R: 3.65 m (12'0") long, 3 pieces, 129 cm (50.8 in) folded, weighs 300 g (10.6 oz), sinker rating #10–27 (37.5–101.25 g, 1.3–3.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 8 models from 3.45 m (11'4") to 4.30 m (14'1"), all 3-piece.
  • 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.
