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

- 5 models from 1.65 m (5'5") to 2.44 m (8'0"), all 2-piece.
- The shortest packed length is 86 cm (33.9 in) (55UL-S·R).
- Weights run from 55 g (1.9 oz) on the 55UL-S·R to 85 g (3.0 oz) on the 80ML-T·R.
- 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 94–98% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥16,500–¥19,000, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.

- 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.
