FEATURES
-
tailwalk 20th ANNIVERSARY EMBLEM
An original emblem engraved on the butt to commemorate tailwalk’s 20th anniversary— a subtle design detail that quietly marks this as a milestone model.
-
Fuji SiC RING GUIDE
Thanks to its exceptionally low friction, it delivers over 20× the line life of improved hard-ring guides. With thermal conductivity 5.7× higher than hard rings, we’ve equipped Fuji SiC ring guides on every guide from tip to butt—ALL SiC.
-
SHOCKING PINK-COLORED BLANKS
tailwalk has always released a pink anniversary rod for every milestone year. For this edition, we chose a brilliantly vivid shocking pink—a bold, attention-grabbing color that stands out unmistakably on deck.
-
CARBON FULL SOLID BLANKS (L-JIGGYS SSD)
Built on a full carbon solid blank that flexibly follows a fish’s resistance, absorbing shocks to keep fights stable and controlled. Finished with a spiral guide setting that prevents the line from touching the butt section and greatly reduces tip tangles.
-
CARBON SOLID TIP (METALZON SSD)
Equipped with a highly sensitive carbon solid tip for more precise, technical control. The responsive tip clearly picks up even the slightest bites. Finished in a high-visibility fluorescent green & white tip color.
-
TUBULAR TIP & L2 LENGTH (BOAT GAMER SSD)
A tubular tip with a finely tuned power rating, capable of handling a wide range of techniques—from minnowing to blade jigging—at a high level. The rear grip length is also optimized for comfort across jerking, high-speed retrieves, and everything in between.
-
BUTT JOINT DESIGN (SLOW BUMP SSD)
The 20th Anniversary SLOW BUMP SSD tubular-blank model features a butt-joint two-piece construction. It’s designed to greatly improve portability for travel trips and help reduce shipping costs.
LINEUP
L-JIGGYS SSD 20th ANV LTD C631/FSL
A full-solid light-jigging rod that bends and follows through seamlessly, without steps.
A light-jigging rod built on a smoothly bending full carbon solid blank with a spiral guide setting, enabling approaches that were difficult with tubular blanks. It’s ideal for a slower, controlled jerk style that doesn’t make the jig jump too aggressively—perfect for teasing low-activity fish. The one-and-half joint design adds true butt power to “stop” fish even after the blank is fully loaded. And unlike conventional full-solid rods, it suffers none of the typical drawbacks in jig control.

METALZON 20th ANV LTD C63MH/SL
A true all-around Ika-Metal rod that covers a wide range of depths and conditions.
A go-to 6' class, MH-power Ika-Metal rod built for situations that demand heavier sutte around 30 gou/120g—when strong current would otherwise push you around—and for quickly working deep water with a steady tempo. Although tuned toward deeper ranges, it still has the versatility to handle shallower water as well.
It features strong butt power to lift big squid without tearing, paired with a delicate carbon solid tip that clearly magnifies even the faintest “touch” when squid are inactive. The tip is finished in a high-visibility fluorescent green.
