Is there a US version of the Daiwa Namiji?

We could not find the Namiji 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 these figures

Tap a size to see its current eBay listings at the top of the page. Lengths are the maker's figures; feet and inches are our conversion. Go (号) is the Japanese size number: for sinkers it is an exact weight (1 go = 3.75 g, converted); for line it is a diameter class, printed as published.

About this item

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The Namiji Choko 50: 4.95 m (16'3") long, 5 pieces, 116 cm (45.7 in) folded, weighs 160 g (5.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 10 models from 3.61 m (11'10") to 7.99 m (26'3"), in 4- to 8-piece builds.
  • The shortest packed length is 98 cm (38.6 in) (Kocho 35).
  • Weights run from 75 g (2.6 oz) on the Kocho 35 to 330 g (11.6 oz) on the Kocho 80.
  • At 75 g, the Kocho 35 is the lightest 3.61 m (11'10") rod we list (of 8 at that length).
  • Carbon content 89–92% depending on the model.
  • 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.
