Is there a US version of the Daiwa Ginei Kyogi Special A?
We could not find the Ginei Kyogi Special 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 shortest packed length is 143 cm (56.3 in) (H85·Q).
- Weights run from 188 g (6.6 oz) on the H85·Q to 210 g (7.4 oz) on the XH90·Q.
- 99% carbon.
- Japan list price ¥380,000–¥405,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #0–#5 (0–18.75 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·Q, the H90·Q is 50 cm longer and 14 g heavier and costs ¥20,000 more in Japan.
- Compared with the H90·Q, the XH90·Q is 1 cm longer and 8 g heavier, takes up to 5 go sinkers (1 go more) and costs ¥5,000 more in Japan.
