Is there a US version of the Daiwa Kohga Tenya GAME EX?

We could not find the Kohga Tenya GAME EX 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 Kohga Tenya GAME EX H-230SMT·J: 2.30 m (7'7") long, 2 pieces, 163 cm (64.2 in) folded, weighs 98 g (3.5 oz), PE line #0.4–1.2 (maker's figures).
  • 4 models from 2.14 m (7'0") to 2.36 m (7'9"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 163 cm (64.2 in) (H-230SMT·J).
  • Weights run from 87 g (3.1 oz) on the H-214·J to 98 g (3.5 oz) on the H-230SMT·J.
  • At 98 g, the H-230SMT·J is the lightest 2.30 m (7'7") rod we list (of 64 at that length).
  • PE line rating 0.4–1.2.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥87,500–¥88,500, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for PE line #0.4–#1.2.
  • 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.
