Is there a US version of the Daiwa Kyokuei Wanfugu EX?

We could not find the Kyokuei Wanfugu 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:

  • Packs down to 177 cm (69.7 in).
  • Weighs 55 g (1.9 oz).
  • At 55 g, the 177 is the lightest 1.77 m (5'10") rod we list (of 9 at that length).
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥88,500, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.

  • 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.
