Is there a US version of the Daiwa Goukyu Madai / Hiramasa ENTO?

We could not find the Goukyu Madai / Hiramasa ENTO 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 114 cm (44.9 in) (Hiramasa 4.5-50 Ento·Q).
  • Weights run from 340 g (12.0 oz) on the Madai 3.5-53 Ento·Q to 375 g (13.2 oz) on the Hiramasa 4.5-53 Ento·Q.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥78,000–¥79,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #5–#20 (18.75–75 g).
  • Long telescopic rods used from rocks and harbour walls.
  • 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 4.5-50 Ento·Q, the 3.5-53 Ento·Q is 30 cm longer and 15 g lighter, takes up to 15 go sinkers (5 go less) and packs to 121 cm (vs 114 cm).
  • Compared with the 3.5-53 Ento·Q, the 4.5-53 Ento·Q is the same length and 35 g heavier, takes up to 20 go sinkers (5 go more) and costs ¥1,000 more in Japan.
