Is there a US version of the Daiwa IL Hokage?
We could not find the IL Hokage 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 96 cm (37.8 in) (Hokage 50-350·Y).
- Weights run from 195 g (6.9 oz) on the Hokage 30-270·Y to 270 g (9.5 oz) on the Hokage 120-270·Y.
- Carbon content 88–92% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥29,900–¥35,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #20–#200 (75–750 g).
- Japanese party-boat fishing. Styles and tackle are specific to 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
- The 8 sizes run from 2.7 m to 3.5 m, weigh 195–270 g, take up to 60–200 go sinkers and list at ¥29,900–¥35,000 in Japan.
