What "JDM Shimano" means on this site

A JDM Shimano reel is a model as Shimano lists it on its Japanese site, with Japanese size codes, Japanese units (grams, kilograms, gō line sizes) and a 6-digit product code (商品コード) and a 13-digit JAN for every size. Many series share a name with a US model, but the size range and some figures differ: in our data, 105 of 309 Japanese sizes have a US SKU with the same size code (US ranges: Vanquish C, Twinpower FE, Stella FK, Stradic FM, CALCUTTA CONQUEST 100-200 A, CALCUTTA CONQUEST DC A, METANIUM MGL B, METANIUM DC A, ANTARES B, MIRAVEL A, NASCI FD, SEDONA FJ, TWINPOWER SW C, CURADO DC 200, ALDEBARAN BFS, TWINPOWER XD FB, VANFORD A, ULTEGRA FD, EXSENCE B, STELLA SW D, SAHARA FJ, NEXAVE FJ, SPHEROS SW, OCEA JIGGER, SIENNA FG, FX FC, OCEA JIGGER CT, OCEA JIGGER LD, CALCUTTA CONQUEST MD), and 73 have no same-code US model. The JDM reels guide explains what differs.
