Is there a US version of the Daiwa Ginei Kyogi A?

We could not find the Ginei Kyogi A 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.

In short

Daiwa Ginei Kyogi A (銀影競技 A) is a Japan-market rod, listed under Ayu (sweetfish); ¥275,000–¥290,000 in Japan before tax. 5 models from 8.50 m (27'11") to 9.00 m (29'6"), all 8-piece. Japan list price ¥275,000–¥290,000 before tax (maker's figure); bought outside Japan from sellers who ship from Japan.

About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The shortest packed length is 143 cm (56.3 in) (H85·J).
  • Weights run from 198 g (7.0 oz) on the H85·J to 223 g (7.9 oz) on the XH90·J.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥275,000–¥290,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #0–#6 (0–22.5 g).
  • Very long rods for the Japanese sweetfish. Almost unknown outside Japan.
  • 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.

How the sizes differ

  • Compared with the H85·J, the XH85·J is the same length and 8 g heavier, takes up to 6 go sinkers (1 go more) and costs ¥10,000 more in Japan.
  • Compared with the XH85·J, the Technical 90·J is 50 cm longer and 2 g heavier, takes up to 4 go sinkers (2 go less) and costs ¥5,000 less in Japan.
  • Compared with the Technical 90·J, the H90·J is the same length and 5 g heavier, takes up to 5 go sinkers (1 go more) and costs ¥5,000 more in Japan.
  • Compared with the H90·J, the XH90·J is the same length and 10 g heavier, takes up to 6 go sinkers (1 go more) and costs ¥5,000 more in Japan.
