Is there a US version of the Daiwa Emeraldas AIR BOAT?

We could not find the Emeraldas AIR BOAT 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 Emeraldas AIR BOAT 65LS-S·K: 1.96 m (6'5") long, 2 pieces, 102 cm (40.2 in) folded, weighs 68 g (2.4 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 6 models from 1.80 m (5'11") to 2.18 m (7'2"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 94 cm (37.0 in) (511LS-S·K).
  • Weights run from 64 g (2.3 oz) on the 511LS-S·K to 75 g (2.6 oz) on the 72MS·K.
  • Carbon content 94–99% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥57,500–¥59,000, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Casting an "egi" squid jig from the shore — a Japanese style now popular worldwide.
  • 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.
