Is there a US version of the Daiwa Kyokuei LG EX?
We could not find the Kyokuei LG 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 shortest packed length is 132 cm (52.0 in) (82MH-175).
- Weights run from 80 g (2.8 oz) on the 82MH-160 to 82 g (2.9 oz) on the 82MH-175.
- 99% carbon.
- Japan list price ¥87,000–¥89,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #15–#80 (56.25–300 g).
- 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.
