Is there a US version of the Daiwa Morethan Branzino CGS?

We could not find the Morethan Branzino CGS 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.

  • Rated for lures from 5 g to 40 g (0.18–1.4 oz) across the range.
