Is there a US version of the Daiwa Kizashi?
We could not find the Kizashi 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 Kizashi 18·J: 5.40 m (17'9") long, 5 pieces, 118 cm (46.5 in) folded, weighs 120 g (4.2 oz) (maker's figures).
- 10 models from 2.10 m (6'11") to 5.40 m (17'9"), in 3- to 5-piece builds.
- The shortest packed length is 76 cm (29.9 in) (7·J).
- Weights run from 49 g (1.7 oz) on the 7·J to 120 g (4.2 oz) on the 18·J.
- Carbon content 88–98% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥60,000–¥118,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
- 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.
