Is there a US version of the Daiwa Saltiga J Expedition?

We could not find the Saltiga J Expedition 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.

What the maker's numbers say about this model:

  • The Saltiga J Expedition 56S-4: 1.68 m (5'6") long, 2 pieces, 89 cm (35.0 in) folded, weighs 210 g (7.4 oz), PE line #4 (maker's figures).
  • 2 models from 1.52 m (5'0") to 1.68 m (5'6"), all 2-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 89 cm (35.0 in) (50S-6).
  • Weights run from 210 g (7.4 oz) on the 56S-4 to 235 g (8.3 oz) on the 50S-6.
  • PE line rating 4–6.
  • 71% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥64,500, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for PE line #4–#6.
  • 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.
