| Part | Listed value | Source note |
|---|
We only list parts the manufacturer (or its own custom-parts brand) names. A part with similar dimensions is not treated as compatible, and a matching type is not a statement that stock spools swap between models.
Is there a US version of the Certate LT3000-XH?
Not with the same size code. The closest US listing is CERTLTG3000D-XH, which we do not treat as the same reel. The official tables differ in weight (225 g (≈ 7.9 oz) in Japan, 7.4 oz in the US).
Closest US size: gear ratio (6.2), max drag (22 lb ≈ 10 kg) and retrieve (36.8 in vs 93 cm ≈ 36.6 in) line up, but the US code adds "D" and lists 7.4 oz against 225 g (≈ 7.9 oz) in Japan. Daiwa USA also lists a CERTLTG3000D-XH-A at 7.9 oz without explaining the "-A".
| Item | JDM LT3000-XH | US CERTLTG3000D-XH | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear ratio | 6.2:1 | 6.2:1 | Matches after our conversion |
| Weight | 225 g (≈ 7.9 oz) | 7.4 oz | Differs |
| Max drag | 10 kg (≈ 22.0 lb) | 22 lb | Matches after our conversion |
| Retrieve per crank | 93 cm (≈ 36.6 in) | 36.8 in | Matches after our conversion |
US values are Daiwa USA official figures; ≈ values are our unit conversions of the Japanese figures. Gaps within rounding (0.15 oz, 1 lb, 0.6 in) count as a match.
Is the JDM Certate LT3000-XH cheaper than the US CERTLTG3000D-XH?
It depends on the exchange rate, so we cannot give a yes or no. The official figures are ¥57,600 in Japan (before consumption tax) and $649.99 in the US (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 ¥88.6. CERTLTG3000D-XH is not the same size code as the Japanese LT3000-XH, so this is not a like-for-like price.
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.

Certate LT3000-XH vs Caldia and Certate HD LT3000-XH
Reels from other series whose size code carries the number 3000, closest in weight first.

By Japanese list price (excl. tax), the cheapest LT3000-XH is the Caldia at ¥31,300 and the most expensive the Certate HD at ¥82,000.
