Is there a US version of the Daiwa Kyokuei LG?

We could not find the Kyokuei LG 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 Kyokuei LG 73MH-185: 1.85 m (6'1") long, 2 pieces, 97 cm (38.2 in) folded, weighs 86 g (3.0 oz), sinker rating #20–80 (75–300 g, 2.6–10.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 6 models from 1.70 m (5'7") to 1.90 m (6'3"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 90 cm (35.4 in) (91H-170).
  • Weights run from 76 g (2.7 oz) on the MC-170 to 89 g (3.1 oz) on the 91H-170.
  • Carbon content 94–96% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥67,500–¥68,500, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #5–#100 (18.75–375 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.
