Is there a US version of the Daiwa Metallia KISU?

We could not find the Metallia KISU 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 Metallia KISU H-170: 1.70 m (5'7") long, 2 pieces, 89 cm (35.0 in) folded, weighs 70 g (2.5 oz), sinker rating #10–30 (37.5–112.5 g, 1.3–4.0 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 2 models from 1.65 m (5'5") to 1.70 m (5'7"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 87 cm (34.3 in) (MH-165).
  • Weights run from 65 g (2.3 oz) on the MH-165 to 70 g (2.5 oz) on the H-170.
  • Carbon content 91–92% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥42,200–¥42,700, which is in the upper-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #10–#30 (37.5–112.5 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.
