Is there a US version of the Daiwa Monster Force AGS?

We could not find the Monster Force AGS 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.

Common questions (3)

Is this the same as the version sold outside Japan?

This page is the Japan-market model from Daiwa, sold in Japan as モンスターフォース AGS, and every figure here comes from Daiwa's Japanese specifications. A model sold abroad under the same name may come in other sizes or with other specifications, so check the size code and weight on a listing against the table below.

Which size should I choose?

These are mostly long telescopic rods; the number in the name (e.g. 1.5, 2, 3) is the rod's power, and the common lengths are 5–6 m, with shorter models for close work. Choose the power to suit the fish size and the sea, and check the packed length for shipping. They are matched with a levelwind or a spinning reel with a line-release lever.

How much will it cost delivered to my country?

The Japan list price is ¥116,000–¥133,000 for these sizes. For an eBay listing, the total we show is the item, the seller's shipping and our estimate of the import duty and tax for the country you pick at the top right of the page; for a size with no listing we estimate from the Japan list price and Japan Post EMS rates. The rates are on our Import duty page. They are estimates, not a seller's price.

About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The shortest packed length is 110 cm (43.3 in) (Kuchibuto 50).
  • Weights run from 220 g (7.8 oz) on the Kuchibuto 50 to 245 g (8.6 oz) on the Onaga H50.
  • 98% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥116,000–¥133,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #1–#7 (3.75–26.25 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.
