Is there a US version of the Daiwa Powercast?
We could not find the Powercast 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 137 cm (53.9 in) (23-390).
- Weights run from 340 g (12.0 oz) on the 23-390 to 410 g (14.5 oz) on the 30-405.
- Carbon content 98–99% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥32,000–¥36,000, which is in the lower-middle of the price range of the 1440 rod series we list.
- Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #18–#35 (67.5–131.25 g).
- 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.
