Is there a US version of the Daiwa Genkyu?
We could not find the Genkyu 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 49.5 cm (19.5 in) (Choko 53·N).
- Weights run from 132 g (4.7 oz) on the Kocho 53·N to 188 g (6.6 oz) on the Choko 61·N.
- 99% carbon.
- Japan list price ¥37,000–¥44,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Short rods for small mountain streams (keiryu).
- 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.
