Is there a US version of the Daiwa Gekkabijin AIR?
We could not find the Gekkabijin AIR 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.

What the maker's numbers say about this model:
- The Gekkabijin AIR 68L-T·W: 2.03 m (6'8") long, 2 pieces, 105 cm (41.3 in) folded, weighs 47 g (1.7 oz), lure weight 0.5–8 g (0.02–0.28 oz), PE line #0.1–0.4, nylon 1.5–4 lb (maker's figures).
- 10 models from 1.60 m (5'3") to 2.51 m (8'3"), all 2-piece.
- The shortest packed length is 84 cm (33.1 in) (AJING 53L-S·W).
- Weights run from 39 g (1.4 oz) on the AJING 53L-S·W to 70 g (2.5 oz) on the 83M-T·W.
- At 70 g, the 83M-T·W is the lightest 2.51 m (8'3") rod we list (of 94 at that length).
- Rated for lures from 0.3 g to 15 g (0.01–0.53 oz) across the range.
- PE line rating 0.1–0.6.
- Carbon content 98–99% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥49,000–¥53,500, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for lures 0.3–15 g (0.01–0.53 oz), PE line #0.1–#0.6.
- Very light rods for small saltwater fish (mebaru and aji).
- 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.
