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

- 8 models from 4.50 m (14'9") to 6.31 m (20'8"), in 5- to 6-piece builds.
- The shortest packed length is 110 cm (43.3 in) (Kurodai M-45UM·Y).
- Weights run from 148 g (5.2 oz) on the Kurodai M-45UM·Y to 269 g (9.5 oz) on the Kurodai XH-63U·Y.

- Japan list price ¥29,000–¥36,800, 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.
