Is the JDM Exist LT3000-H cheaper than the US EXIGLT3000-H?
It depends on the exchange rate. The official list prices are ¥105,000 for the Japanese LT3000-H (before consumption tax) and $999.99 for the US EXIGLT3000-H (US MSRP). We do not convert currencies. Dividing one by the other, the Japanese list price is the lower number when one US dollar buys more than ¥105.
- Japan: Daiwa Japan's "メーカー希望本体価格" (maker's suggested base price; the table notes it is 税抜, before consumption tax), Daiwa Japan page, checked 2026-10-11.
- US: Daiwa USA's MSRP on daiwa.us, Daiwa US page, checked 2026-10-11.
The Japanese figure excludes Japan's consumption tax (the page says so); the US page shows its price without mentioning tax. Shipping, import duties and shop prices are not included. Japan list prices are the makers' base prices before consumption tax (Shimano "本体価格", marked 税別; Daiwa "メーカー希望本体価格", marked 税抜). US prices are Shimano North America and Daiwa USA MSRP, or for Shimano baitcasting reels the price on Shimano North America's official online store. Source dates are shown with each record (2026-10-11 or 2026-10-13). We do not convert currencies or add tax. Prices can change; check the current price on the official page. Shop prices and stock are not shown. About prices

Do the numbers match?
We convert the Japanese figures and compare them with the US table. Small gaps within rounding (0.15 oz, 1 lb, 0.6 in) count as a match.
| Item | JDM LT3000-H | USDM EXIGLT3000-H | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear ratio | 5.7:1 | Not confirmed | Cannot compare (value not published) |

Line capacity is not compared value by value: Japan rates PE line in gō (号) × metres, while the US table uses lb test × yards for a named braid, and the two cannot be converted exactly.
What only the Japanese listing gives you
- Product code and JAN: 00061113 / 4550133326011. Use these to match a Japanese retailer's listing and to order parts.
- Spool: 48 mm dia..
- SLP Works spools: Daiwa's custom-parts brand lists the 22 Exist as compatible. See the SLP Works spool list.
Officially listed compatibility applies to the Japanese reel as listed in Japan. We have not found a statement from Daiwa that the US version takes the same parts, so we do not say it does.
