Is there a US version of the Daiwa Pro Cargo SS Ento?

We could not find the Pro Cargo SS Ento 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.
