 Sounds pretty reasonable, but I doubt there is a difference between the JDM BG and the export BG. Did you buy through eBay?

 Think the JDM if I am not mistaken has a different handle compared to the normal BG. Instead of the handle having a threaded female shaft like on the normal BG's it has a threaded male shaft going all the way through and secured at the back with a cap nut. (See pic from Alan Hawk review)


Don't think you can go wrong with the rod as my buddy has one and he is very happy with it.
Also a nice travel rod as they come in 3pc :)

 Typically, JDM market models are seen as better than export models for the more discerning Japanese client.

Unfortunately not in this case, it's on the Alan Hawk website, sounds like it is not just the handle but also the main gear that is different

 I've been wondering about this... I guess the Japs only go the extra mile on their high end stuff. Perhaps the lower end stuff is more a sort of "Asia" model (into the general SE Asian zones) rather than what we've come accustomed to as the JDM models. I doubt there is a more discerning bunch of people in the world than the Japanese.
