What "JDM Daiwa" means on this site
A JDM Daiwa reel is a model as Daiwa lists it on its Japanese site, with Japanese size codes, Japanese units (grams, kilograms, gō line sizes) and a 13-digit JAN for every size; the 8-digit product code (製品コード) comes from Daiwa's parts search, which the product pages link to. Many series share a name with a US model, but the size range and some figures differ: in our data, 11 of 194 Japanese sizes have a US SKU with the same size code (US ranges: Exist, Certate, ZILLION SV TW, 2026 ZILLION TW 150, STEEZ SV TW, TATULA SV 100, TATULA 200), and 57 have no same-code US model. The JDM reels guide explains what differs.
