Is there a US version of the Daiwa Hatou?
We could not find the Hatou 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:

- 17 models from 4.50 m (14'9") to 6.30 m (20'8"), in 5- to 6-piece builds.
- The shortest packed length is 99 cm (39.0 in) (1-45·N).
- Weights run from 167 g (5.9 oz) on the 1-45·N to 335 g (11.8 oz) on the 6-48HR·N.
- Carbon content 98–99% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥34,000–¥45,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.

- 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.
