Is there a US version of the Daiwa Hagakure?
We could not find the Hagakure 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.

- Japan list price ¥10,400–¥18,200, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
- 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.
