Is there a US version of the Daiwa Gekkou Tsuyoshi?

We could not find the Gekkou Tsuyoshi 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 Gekkou Tsuyoshi 17: 5.10 m (16'9") long, 5 pieces, 114 cm (44.9 in) folded, weighs 105 g (3.7 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 15 models from 1.80 m (5'11") to 6.30 m (20'8"), in 2- to 6-piece builds.
  • The shortest packed length is 86 cm (33.9 in) (8).
  • Weights run from 31 g (1.1 oz) on the 6 to 140 g (4.9 oz) on the 21.
  • Carbon content 88–99% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥21,800–¥46,800, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • 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.
