Is there a US version of the Daiwa Megathis R ENTO?

We could not find the Megathis R ENTO 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 Megathis R ENTO 3-53 Ento: 5.30 m (17'5") long, 5 pieces, 123 cm (48.4 in) folded, weighs 350 g (12.3 oz), sinker rating #5–15 (18.75–56.25 g, 0.66–2.0 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 3 models, all 5.30 m (17'5"), all 5-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 123 cm (48.4 in) (3-53 Ento).
  • Weights run from 350 g (12.3 oz) on the 3-53 Ento to 440 g (15.5 oz) on the 5-53 Ento.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥83,500–¥86,500, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #5–#25 (18.75–93.75 g).
  • Long telescopic rods used from rocks and harbour walls.
  • 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.
