Is there a US version of the Daiwa Gekkabijin Mebarumodel?

We could not find the Gekkabijin Mebarumodel 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 Gekkabijin Mebarumodel Gekkabijin 83M-T·N: 2.51 m (8'3") long, 2 pieces, 129 cm (50.8 in) folded, weighs 86 g (3.0 oz), lure weight 2–15 g (0.07–0.53 oz), PE line #0.15–0.6, nylon 2–6 lb (maker's figures).
  • 4 models from 2.08 m (6'10") to 2.51 m (8'3"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 108 cm (42.5 in) (Gekkabijin 610L-S·N).
  • Weights run from 64 g (2.3 oz) on the Gekkabijin 610L-S·N to 86 g (3.0 oz) on the Gekkabijin 83M-T·N.
  • 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 97–98% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥17,700–¥19,300, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) 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.
