Is there a US version of the Daiwa Metallia Hirame?
We could not find the Metallia Hirame 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 shortest packed length is 125 cm (49.2 in) (SS/MH-240·J).
- Weights run from 133 g (4.7 oz) on the SS/MH-240·J to 155 g (5.5 oz) on the H-265·J.
- Carbon content 88–92% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥54,500–¥56,500, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #25–#150 (93.75–562.5 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.
