Is there a US version of the Daiwa Lurenist?

We could not find the Lurenist 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.

  • 17 models from 1.68 m (5'6") to 2.90 m (9'6"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 88 cm (34.6 in) (56UL).
  • Weights run from 94 g (3.3 oz) on the 60XUL to 220 g (7.8 oz) on the 96MH.
  • Rated for lures from 0.8 g to 40 g (0.03–1.4 oz) across the range.
  • PE line rating 0.6–2.
  • Carbon content 84–92% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥9,700–¥12,200, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for lures 0.8–40 g (0.03–1.4 oz), PE line #0.6–#2.
  • 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.
