Is there a US version of the Daiwa Shunkei?

We could not find the Shunkei 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 shortest packed length is 52.7 cm (20.7 in) (Kocho 52M·V).
  • Weights run from 111 g (3.9 oz) on the Kocho 52M·V to 200 g (7.1 oz) on the Kocho 70M·V.
  • Carbon content 97–99% depending on the model.
  • Japan list price ¥21,200–¥30,500, which is in the bottom quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Short rods for small mountain streams (keiryu).
  • 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.

How the sizes differ

  • The 7 sizes run from 5.16 m to 7.04 m, weigh 111–200 g and list at ¥21,200–¥30,500 in Japan.
