Is there a US version of the Daiwa Phantom Liberalist?

We could not find the Phantom Liberalist 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 Phantom Liberalist 863ML+RSS: 2.59 m (8'6") long, 3 pieces, 110 cm (43.3 in) folded, weighs 130 g (4.6 oz), lure weight 5–40 g (0.18–1.4 oz), PE line #MAX2.0, nylon 8–25 lb (maker's figures).
  • 7 models from 2.13 m (7'0") to 2.82 m (9'3"), all 3-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 87 cm (34.3 in) (703MH+RSB).
  • Weights run from 115 g (4.1 oz) on the 703MLRSS to 185 g (6.5 oz) on the 933MH+RSB.
  • Rated for lures from 5 g to 70 g (0.18–2.5 oz) across the range.
  • PE line rating 1.5–3.
  • Carbon content 99–100% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥39,000–¥48,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for lures 5–70 g (0.18–2.5 oz), PE line #1.5–#3.
  • 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.
