Daiwa FL Joint III Folding Landing Net Joint: Release Date and Model Guide

Daiwa lists November 2026 as the Japanese release month. The exact launch day, U.S. distribution, Kodiak arrival and selling price are unconfirmed.

What is confirmed?

The Daiwa FL Joint III lets a compatible landing-net frame fold against its handle for compact carrying. Its new FL folding fin releases the lock when turned either left or right, while an included O-ring helps restrain the net during transport.

• Semi-lock mechanism supports quick deployment by swinging the handle sideways.
• Thread specification: W1/2, 12 threads per inch. Check your frame and pole connections before fitting.
• Includes one anti-flapping O-ring, one resin washer and one rubber washer. Net and handle are not included.

Which version should you compare?

The two listed colors share the same published mechanism and thread specification. Choose by finish, then verify the thread on both your existing frame and pole. Daiwa cautions that frame weight, size and material affect the feel of semi-lock release.

How does it differ from earlier models?

This is FL Joint III, also written FL Joint 3 in Daiwa item names. It is not the older FL Joint II/2. The new folding-fin structure permits release in either direction; the O-ring adds transport restraint alongside the semi-lock mechanism.

Can I reserve one?

The product page provides an exact-model availability alert. Select the configuration you want before signing up. An alert does not place a preorder or reserve inventory. Japanese release timing does not confirm U.S. availability or a Kodiak delivery date.
