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 Gekkabijin RX 74UL-S: 2.24 m (7'4") long, 2 pieces, 116 cm (45.7 in) folded, weighs 73 g (2.6 oz), lure weight 0.3–5 g (0.01–0.18 oz), PE line #0.1–0.3, nylon 1–3 lb (maker's figures).
  • 4 models from 2.03 m (6'8") to 2.54 m (8'4"), all 2-piece.
  • 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.
