Is there a US version of the Daiwa Light Hirame X?

We could not find the Light Hirame X 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 Light Hirame X S-230·R: 2.30 m (7'7") long, 2 pieces, 120 cm (47.2 in) folded, weighs 114 g (4.0 oz), sinker rating #15–50 (56.25–187.5 g, 2.0–6.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 2 models from 2.30 m (7'7") to 2.40 m (7'10"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 120 cm (47.2 in) (S-230·R).
  • Weights run from 114 g (4.0 oz) on the S-230·R to 120 g (4.2 oz) on the M-240·R.
  • Carbon content 55–56% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥19,000, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #15–#60 (56.25–225 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.
