Is there a US version of the Daiwa Impressa?

We could not find the Impressa 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 Impressa 1.25-53·Y: 5.30 m (17'5") long, 5 pieces, 116 cm (45.7 in) folded, weighs 186 g (6.6 oz), sinker rating #1–4 (3.75–15 g, 0.13–0.53 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 12 models from 5.00 m (16'5") to 5.30 m (17'5"), all 5-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 103 cm (40.6 in) (1.5-53M·Y).
  • Weights run from 178 g (6.3 oz) on the 1.5-50·Y to 415 g (14.6 oz) on the 5-53 Ento·Y.
  • Carbon content 94–99% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥24,500–¥36,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #1–#20 (3.75–75 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.
