Is there a US version of the Daiwa Gekkabijin RX?
We could not find the Gekkabijin RX 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 105 cm (41.3 in) (RX 68L-T).
- Weights run from 66 g (2.3 oz) on the RX 68L-T to 98 g (3.5 oz) on the RX 84M-T.
- 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.
- 99% carbon.
- Japan list price ¥24,300–¥24,900, 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.
