Is there a US version of the Daiwa Expert Hekira Chutsugi?

We could not find the Expert Hekira Chutsugi 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 66.5 cm (26.2 in) (Hekira Chutsugi Choko 65M).
  • Weights run from 168 g (5.9 oz) on the Hekira Chutsugi Choko 65M to 245 g (8.6 oz) on the Hekira Chutsugi Choko 80M.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥48,000–¥62,000, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Short rods for small mountain streams (keiryu).
  • 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.
