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.

About this item
What the maker's numbers say about this model:
- The Ginei Kyogi A H85·J: 8.50 m (27'11") long, 8 pieces, 143 cm (56.3 in) folded, weighs 198 g (7.0 oz), sinker rating #0–5 (0–18.75 g, 0.00–0.66 oz) (maker's figures).
- 5 models from 8.50 m (27'11") to 9.00 m (29'6"), all 8-piece.
- 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.
