Daiwa Keiryu Kiyose Kouchou 62M/Y (Zoom 5.7m – 6.2m)

High-Performance JDM Fixed-Line Rod | Premium HVF Carbon

The Daiwa Keiryu Kiyose Kouchou 62M/Y is a versatile, long-reach Japanese mountain stream rod. Built with Daiwa’s high-density HVF carbon, it offers significantly more power and "backbone" than standard Tenkara rods, making it an ideal crossover tool for several North American styles of fishing.

Ideal Species & Applications

  • Trout: Perfect for high-gradient mountain streams where you need to stay far back from clear pools. Excellent for Euro-nymphing or traditional bait fishing.

  • Panfish (Crappie/Bluegill/Perch): A favorite for "dipping" or "dapping" around submerged timber and lily pads. The 20ft reach allows you to drop a jig vertically into cover without spooking the school.

  • Smallmouth Bass: Handles aggressive stream-dwelling smallmouth with ease thanks to the 7:3 fast-action taper.

  • Backpacking: At only 21 inches closed, it is the ultimate "big water" rod for backcountry trips.

Condition Report

  • Overall: Moderately used and structurally 100% functional.

  • Handle Wear: Visible cosmetic wear/scuffing on the butt of the handle grip. Please refer to the photos for a close-up of this area.

  • Action: The 13 telescopic sections extend smoothly; no sticking or cracks.

  • Tip: Includes the original hard top cover to protect the 0.7mm "Mega Top" solid carbon tip.

Technical Features

  • Dual-Length Zoom: Lock the rod at 5.7m for tighter overhead cover or extend to the full 6.2m (20.3 ft) for maximum reach.

  • HVF Carbon & V-Joint: High Volume Fiber construction for reduced weight (only 5.89 oz) and specialized anti-sticking joints to prevent jamming.

  • Mega Top Technology: A specialized solid carbon tip that is more durable than hollow tips and highly sensitive to subtle takes.

  • Distinction between "JDM" and "China": Designed and engineered by Daiwa Japan for the Japanese Domestic Market; manufactured in Daiwa's specialized facility in China.
