Is there a US version of the Daiwa LONG SURF T?

We could not find the LONG SURF T 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 LONG SURF T 30-530·Y: 5.30 m (17'5") long, 5 pieces, 121 cm (47.6 in) folded, weighs 500 g (17.6 oz), sinker rating #25–35 (93.75–131.25 g, 3.3–4.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 5 models, all 5.30 m (17'5"), all 5-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 121 cm (47.6 in) (T 25-530·Y).
  • Weights run from 440 g (15.5 oz) on the T 25-530·Y to 560 g (19.8 oz) on the T 35-530·Y.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥33,500–¥39,500, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #20–#40 (75–150 g).
  • 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.
