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

We could not find the Tournament 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 Tournament SURF T 30-425·R: 4.25 m (13'11") long, 4 pieces, 121 cm (47.6 in) folded, weighs 455 g (16.0 oz), sinker rating #25–35 (93.75–131.25 g, 3.3–4.6 oz) (maker's figures).
  • 10 models from 4.05 m (13'3") to 4.25 m (13'11"), all 4-piece.
  • The shortest packed length is 116 cm (45.7 in) (T 25-405·R).
  • Weights run from 380 g (13.4 oz) on the T 25-405·R to 515 g (18.2 oz) on the T 35-425·R.
  • 99% carbon.
  • Japan list price ¥59,000–¥73,000, which is in the top quarter (by Japan list price) of the 1440 rod series we list.
  • Rated by Daiwa for sinkers #20–#40 (75–150 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.
