Is there a US version of the Daiwa Prime SURF T?

We could not find the Prime SURF T 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 Prime SURF T 27-450·W: 4.50 m (14'9") long, 5 pieces, 104 cm (40.9 in) folded, weighs 445 g (15.7 oz), sinker rating #23–30 (86.25–112.5 g, 3.0–4.0 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 14 models from 4.05 m (13'3") to 4.50 m (14'9"), in 4- to 5-piece builds.
  • The shortest packed length is 104 cm (40.9 in) (T 25-450L·W).
  • Weights run from 370 g (13.1 oz) on the T 25-405·W to 485 g (17.1 oz) on the T 33-425·W.
  • 92% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥15,000–¥17,800, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #20–#35 (75–131.25 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.
