Is there a US version of the Daiwa Prime Caster?
We could not find the Prime Caster 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.

- 8 models from 3.85 m (12'8") to 4.25 m (13'11"), all 3-piece.
- The shortest packed length is 136 cm (53.5 in) (27-385·N).
- Weights run from 360 g (12.7 oz) on the 23-405·N to 435 g (15.3 oz) on the 33-405·N.
- 99% carbon.
- Japan list price ¥49,000–¥55,000, which is in the upper-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.
