Is there a US version of the Daiwa Monster Torque?

We could not find the Monster Torque 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 Monster Torque Onaga H-53: 5.30 m (17'5") long, 5 pieces, 116 cm (45.7 in) folded, weighs 245 g (8.6 oz), sinker rating #2–7 (7.5–26.25 g, 0.26–0.93 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 8 models from 5.00 m (16'5") to 5.30 m (17'5"), all 5-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 110 cm (43.3 in) (Kuchibuto M-50).
  • Weights run from 218 g (7.7 oz) on the Kuchibuto M-50 to 245 g (8.6 oz) on the Onaga H-53.
  • Carbon content 97–98% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥79,000–¥89,500, 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.
