Is there a US version of the Daiwa Crosscast?

We could not find the Crosscast 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.

Common questions (3)

Is this the same as the version sold outside Japan?

This page is the Japan-market model from Daiwa, sold in Japan as 17クロスキャスト, and every figure here comes from Daiwa's Japanese specifications. A model sold abroad under the same name may come in other sizes or with other specifications, so check the size code and weight on a listing against the table below.

How much will it cost delivered to my country?

The Japan list price is ¥12,000–¥13,300 for these sizes. For an eBay listing, the total we show is the item, the seller's shipping and our estimate of the import duty and tax for the country you pick at the top right of the page; for a size with no listing we estimate from the Japan list price and Japan Post EMS rates. The rates are on our Import duty page. They are estimates, not a seller's price.
