FEATURES

  • SPIRAL GUIDE SETTING

    SPIRAL GUIDE SETTING

    By suppressing twist in the tip section, it prevents the line from contacting the blank while greatly reducing line wrap around the top guide. Smoothly guiding the line to the underside near the butt also allows the guide count to be minimized—contributing to a lighter overall rod.

  • GLASS SOLID TIP

    GLASS SOLID TIP

    Equipped with a glass solid tip with exceptionally flexible material characteristics. It’s less likely to give squid a sense of resistance, and its supple response helps you detect even the most subtle bites accurately. The tip is finished in high-visibility fluorescent green & white.

  • X-WARPPING

    X-WARPPING

    By densely wrapping X-pattern carbon tape over the blank’s outermost layer, it suppresses rod twist generated during casting and fighting. Applied from tip to butt, it thoroughly eliminates unwanted torsion throughout the entire rod.

  • tailwalk Z-SHAPE REEL SEAT

    tailwalk Z-SHAPE REEL SEAT

    Equipped with tailwalk’s original Z-SHAPE REEL SEAT, uniquely designed for a tight, secure grip across any finger style—from one-finger hold to full palming. A signature square emblem is set at the center as an iconic detail.

  • GRIP DESIGN

    GRIP DESIGN

    Based on tailwalk’s signature black, the design is kept clean and minimal with no unnecessary elements. Gunmetal metallic-silver accents add a refined, sophisticated touch.

  • Fuji TOP SiC RING / A-RING GUIDE

    Fuji TOP SiC RING / A-RING GUIDE

    The top guide features a high-strength stainless-frame + SiC ring guide that, thanks to its exceptionally low friction, delivers over 20× the line life of improved hard-ring guides. For the remaining blank guides, we use durable stainless-frame + Alconite ring guides.

C62M/GSL

Fast-action with a supple glass solid tip. M class, rated for 10–30 gou / 40–120 g rigs.

By pairing an extremely fast-taper blank with a flexible glass solid tip, it delivers outstanding visual and tactile sensitivity to clearly detect even the subtlest squid bites. When it’s moved to attract squid, it shows a true fast-action bend—but once the squid is hooked, it smoothly transitions from the belly through to the butt. This variable-taper design helps prevent hook-outs. A medium-class model with strong performance despite its “basic” positioning.

C62MH/GSL

Fast-action with a supple glass solid tip. MH class, rated for 15–35 gou / 60–140 g.

An MH model built on a fast-taper blank with boosted butt power, making it easy to execute the core “fish-catching” moves—lifting and dropping the sutte, or stopping it dead on cue. When it’s moved to attract squid, it shows a true fast-action bend—but once the squid is hooked, it smoothly transitions from the belly through to the butt. This variable-taper design helps prevent hook-outs. A medium-heavy-class model with strong performance despite its “basic” positioning.
