Is there a US version of the Daiwa World Spin?

We could not find the World Spin 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 these figures

Tap a size to see its current eBay listings at the top of the page. Bearings = ball / roller. Line capacity is the maker's guideline. PE is braided line (polyethylene fibre); its Japanese size number (go, 号) marks thickness, not breaking strength. Source: Daiwa official Japanese site, fetched 2026-09-19; conversions are ours.
