Is there a US version of the Daiwa Leading Mebaru?

We could not find the Leading Mebaru 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 Leading Mebaru S-350·J: 3.50 m (11'6") long, 3 pieces, 121 cm (47.6 in) folded, weighs 124 g (4.4 oz), sinker rating #10–40 (37.5–150 g, 1.3–5.3 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 7 models from 2.65 m (8'8") to 3.50 m (11'6"), in 2- to 3-piece builds.
  • The shortest packed length is 105 cm (41.3 in) (Mebaru M-300·J).
  • Weights run from 100 g (3.5 oz) on the Mebaru SS-265·J to 125 g (4.4 oz) on the Mebaru M-350·J.
  • Carbon content 96–98% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥39,900–¥48,500, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #8–#50 (30–187.5 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.
