Is there a US version of the Daiwa Freegear MX?

We could not find the Freegear MX 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 Freegear MX 420TM: 4.20 m (13'9") long, 4 pieces, 113 cm (44.5 in) folded, weighs 135 g (4.8 oz), lure weight 3–30 g (0.11–1.1 oz), sinker rating #1.5–4 (5.62–15 g, 0.20–0.53 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 3 models from 3.61 m (11'10") to 4.60 m (15'1"), in 3- to 4-piece builds.
  • The shortest packed length is 113 cm (44.5 in) (420TM).
  • Weights run from 135 g (4.8 oz) on the 420TM to 173 g (6.1 oz) on the 360TKHH.
  • Rated for lures from 3 g to 45 g (0.11–1.6 oz) across the range.
  • Carbon content 97–98% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥41,500–¥45,000, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for lures 3–45 g (0.11–1.6 oz), sinkers #1–#8 (3.75–30 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.
