Is there a US version of the Daiwa Kyokuei Kawahagi AIR?
We could not find the Kyokuei Kawahagi AIR 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.

- The shortest packed length is 175 cm (68.9 in) (Kawahagi AIR Bottom).

- 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.
