Is there a US version of the Daiwa NEO Tenkara?
We could not find the NEO Tenkara 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 shortest packed length is 47.6 cm (18.7 in) (32).
- Weights run from 77 g (2.7 oz) on the 32 to 95 g (3.4 oz) on the 39.
- At 77 g, the 32 is the lightest 3.21 m (10'6") rod we list (of 4 at that length).
- Carbon content 91–92% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥17,200–¥19,500, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Short rods for small mountain streams (keiryu).
- 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.
How the sizes differ
- Compared with the 32 (3.21 m), the 36 (3.59 m) is 38 cm longer and 8 g heavier and costs ¥1,000 more in Japan.
- Compared with the 36 (3.59 m), the 39 (3.94 m) is 35 cm longer and 10 g heavier and costs ¥1,300 more in Japan.
