Common questions (2)
Is this the same as the version sold outside Japan?
This page is the Japan-market model from Daiwa, sold in Japan as 24セルテート, and every figure here comes from Daiwa's Japanese specifications. The Daiwa 2026-27 US catalog lists the Certate LT G in 6 sizes (2500D-H, 3000D-XH, 3000D-XH-A, 4000D-CXH, 4000D-CXH-A, 5000D-XH-A; 7.2–10.8 oz ≈ 204–306 g, 22–26 lb max drag, 10+1 bearings), so none of the US sizes match a Japan-market size.
