Is there a US version of the Daiwa Ryusei?
We could not find the Ryusei 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 Ryusei 17·E: 5.10 m (16'9") long, 5 pieces, 112 cm (44.1 in) folded, weighs 98 g (3.5 oz) (maker's figures).
- 16 models from 1.80 m (5'11") to 6.30 m (20'8"), in 2- to 6-piece builds.
- The shortest packed length is 86 cm (33.9 in) (8·E).
- Weights run from 35 g (1.2 oz) on the 6·E to 133 g (4.7 oz) on the 21·E.
- Carbon content 91–99% depending on the model.
- Japan list price ¥39,000–¥120,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
- 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.
