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

PE is braided line (polyethylene fibre); its Japanese size number (go, 号) marks thickness, not breaking strength. Source: Daiwa official Japanese site, fetched 2026-09-19; conversions are ours.
