Tailwalk Rod Guide: 11 Series Compared

A bass rod for mixed presentations, a light Ajing rod, and an offshore jigging rod have very different jobs. Tailwalk's lineup includes both versatile designs and technique-specific tools, with dedicated series for freshwater, shore fishing, and offshore applications.

This selection highlights 11 series and one representative model from each. The focus is on what distinguishes the rods, their published specifications, and the presentations Tailwalk designed them to handle. Lure, jig, egi, and line ratings are kept in the manufacturer's original units.

Names such as TZ, SD, SSD, MPG, and G-Model identify a particular line, construction, or tier within a broader Tailwalk product family. The headings below use the family names; each section then identifies the representative line and model used for the specification example.

Bass and Freshwater Lure Fishing

FULLRANGE: Bass Rods for Different Presentations

FULLRANGE is Tailwalk's bass-rod family. This guide uses FULLRANGE [New Gen] as the representative line. Within it, TRUE VERSATILE covers mixed techniques, FASTER BEAT focuses on moving baits, and TECHNICAL FINESSE is designed for precise light-rig work. Black, deep-brown, and navy thread distinguish those groups respectively.

Representative line: FULLRANGE [New Gen]

Featured model: C66M

Specification	C66M
Reel type	Casting
Length and construction	6'6", one-piece
Lure rating	3/16–3/4 oz
Line rating	6–20 lb
Rod weight	102 g

The C66M belongs to TRUE VERSATILE and has a Fast action. Tailwalk lists hard baits, weightless soft plastics, heavy drop-shot rigs, and light Texas rigs among its uses, from either the bank or a boat. It is the model to examine when your bass setup needs to move between several presentations rather than serve one specialized technique.

NAMAZON: Catfish and Power-Freshwater Rods

NAMAZON is Tailwalk's catfish and power-freshwater rod family. The representative NAMAZON G-Model uses glass-composite blanks, cork grips, and Fuji SiC guides, distinguishing it from a conventional carbon bass-rod setup. Its center-cut two-piece construction also makes the rods easier to transport.

Representative line: NAMAZON G-Model

Featured model: C65M/G

Specification	C65M/G
Reel type	Casting
Length and construction	6'5", center-cut two-piece
Lure rating	3/16–1 oz
Line rating	8–20 lb
Closed length	102 cm

Tailwalk identifies topwater lures and frogs as the principal presentations for this Regular-action model. Its flexible blank is designed to load during the cast and follow the fish during the fight. Consider it specifically as a rod for working catfish lures—not simply as a generic rod for every style of catfish fishing.

Shore Fishing: Versatile Rods and Dedicated Specialists

CRIMSON: Multipurpose Freshwater and Saltwater Rods

CRIMSON is Tailwalk's multipurpose range, with casting, spinning, and telescopic models. The lineup separates F, or Fast-action models, from R, or Regular-action models, allowing different choices for active lure manipulation and retrieving moving baits.

Featured model: S83M-F

Specification	S83M-F
Reel type	Spinning
Length and construction	8'3", two-piece
Lure rating	Maximum 35 g
Line rating	Maximum PE #1.5
Rod weight	114 g

This Medium-power, Fast-action model is listed for minnows, vibration baits, light jigs, and jighead rigs. Tailwalk also identifies eging with approximately size 3.5 egi as an application. Its attraction is the range of presentations within those ratings: a useful starting point when you want to switch lure types without immediately moving to a dedicated technique-specific rod.

[[JDMAS:crimson-s83m-f-product]]

HI-TIDE: Shore-Based Japanese Seabass Rods

HI-TIDE is Tailwalk's shore-based Japanese seabass family. The representative HI-TIDE SSD line balances blank response, casting performance, sensitivity, and lure control across a broad range of shore situations.

Representative line: HI-TIDE SSD

Featured model: 90ML

Specification	90ML
Reel type	Spinning
Length and construction	9'0", two-piece
Lure rating	7–35 g
Line rating	PE #0.6–1.5
Rod weight	135 g
Closed length	140 cm

The 90ML is a Fast-action model that Tailwalk identifies as the most versatile rod in the HI-TIDE SSD series. Its 9-foot length and 7–35 g lure range cover minnows, vibration baits, blade baits, and sinking pencils across harbors, rivers, and tidal flats. It is the strongest representative starting point for anglers comparing the broader HI-TIDE family.

[[JDMAS:hi-tide-ssd-90ml-product]]

EGIST: Dedicated Shore-Eging Rods

EGIST is Tailwalk's dedicated shore-eging family. The representative EGIST TZ [New Gen] line combines Toray T1100G and M40X carbon, with titanium-frame Torzite guides throughout. This flagship configuration is designed for manipulating egi and detecting squid contact.

Representative line: EGIST TZ [New Gen]

Featured model: S86ML

Specification	S86ML
Reel type	Spinning
Length and construction	8'6", two-piece
Egi rating	Sizes 1.8–3.5
Line rating	PE #0.4–1.0
Rod weight	84 g

Tailwalk presents the S86ML as the all-round model, particularly for size 2.5–3.5 egi. Its stated applications include piers, elevated fishing positions, and rocky shorelines, and its published action is Regular. This is the dedicated option for an angler building an eging setup rather than adding occasional squid fishing to a multipurpose outfit.

[[JDMAS:egist-s86ml-product]]

AJIST: Lightweight Rods for Ajing

AJIST is Tailwalk's family for Ajing, the Japanese approach to targeting horse mackerel with small lures. The representative AJIST SD line concentrates on low rod weight and light-lure control, with solid-tip models and longer tubular-tip options for different presentations.

Representative line: AJIST SD

Featured model: S63/SL

Specification	S63/SL
Reel type	Spinning
Length and construction	6'3", two-piece, carbon solid tip
Lure rating	Maximum 5 g
Line ratings	1–3 lb; PE #0.1–0.4
Rod weight	44 g

The S63/SL has an Extra Fast action and is described as a standard-length option for harbor fishing, balancing casting distance with control. Its solid tip and light-lure rating make it a model to examine for jighead-focused Ajing. For a dedicated harbor setup, its emphasis is on light presentations and precise rod control.

Offshore Fishing: Match the Rod to the Presentation

JIGFORCE: Offshore Jigging Rods

JIGFORCE is Tailwalk's offshore jigging family. The representative JIGFORCE SD line combines medium- and high-modulus carbon with 45° × 45° bias-carbon layers and X-wrapping. Tailwalk describes this construction as balancing responsive jig movement with the ability to bend under load, and fits Fuji SiC guides throughout.

Representative line: JIGFORCE SD

Featured model: S613

Specification	S613
Reel type	Spinning
Length and construction	6'1", two-piece butt joint
Jig rating	Maximum 180 g
Line rating	Maximum PE #3.0
Published maximum drag	6 kg
Closed length	123 cm

The Regular-action S613 is positioned as a versatile nearshore jigging model. Tailwalk lists conventional one-pitch work, tip-controlled swimming actions, and wider sliding movements among its uses. It is a useful representative of the series when you want one spinning jigging rod for several cadences, provided its jig and line ratings match your fishing.

TAI GAME: Dedicated Tai-Rubber Rods

TAI GAME is Tailwalk's dedicated tai-rubber family for fishing weighted, skirted lures. The representative Tai Game TZ [New Gen] line combines a full-solid carbon main blank with a tubular butt section in a one-and-a-half-piece arrangement. Its casting models use a spiral guide layout with titanium-frame Torzite guides.

Representative line: Tai Game TZ [New Gen]

Featured model: C70UL/FSL

Specification	C70UL/FSL
Reel type	Casting / conventional
Length and construction	7'0", one-and-a-half-piece
Published lure-weight limit	Maximum 150 g
Line rating	Maximum PE #1.0
Published maximum drag	1.2 kg
Closed length	146 cm

Tailwalk gives this model a Parabolic action, emphasizing a smooth bend through the main blank. The focus is following bites and maintaining a consistent load during the fight, rather than the sharp jig movements emphasized by JIGFORCE SD. It is the technique-specific choice here for a drop-and-retrieve tai-rubber presentation.

[[JDMAS:tai-game-c70ul-fsl-product]]

METALZON: Offshore Squid Rods

METALZON is Tailwalk's offshore squid-rod family for ika-metal and omorig fishing. The representative METALZON SSD line uses neon-green and white tip markings for visibility and a Z-SHAPE reel seat for different gripping styles. Construction varies by model, so select the version for your particular rig.

Representative line: METALZON SSD

Featured model: C64ML/SL

Specification	C64ML/SL
Reel type	Casting / conventional
Length and construction	6'4", two-piece, carbon solid tip
Metal-sutte weight rating	5–20 gō, in the manufacturer's Japanese-number notation
Line rating	Maximum PE #0.8
Rod weight	85 g

The C64ML/SL is an Extra Fast-action ika-metal model. Tailwalk identifies both vertical fishing and short underhand casts as applications, with the solid tip intended to show subtle squid contact. Choose it for that role rather than assuming every METALZON SSD model has the same construction or omorig suitability.

[[JDMAS:metalzon-c64ml-sl-product]]

SLOW BUMP: Slow-Pitch Jigging Rods

SLOW BUMP is Tailwalk's slow-pitch jigging family. The representative SLOW BUMP MPG line uses Magnum Power Glass, a blank material developed by alphatackle, to create a deeply bending, recovery-focused design. Its DM designation refers to the published maximum drag rating.

Representative line: SLOW BUMP MPG

Featured model: C613-DM10

Specification	C613-DM10
Reel type	Casting / conventional
Length and construction	6'1", one-piece
Jig rating	Maximum 350 g
Published maximum drag	10 kg
Rod weight	202 g

Tailwalk describes the C613-DM10 around slow-pitch jigging and lifting performance after the blank has bent deeply. The relevant comparison is its 350 g jig limit, 10 kg published drag maximum, and MPG construction, rather than interpreting the final 3 in C613 as a universal power class. For transport, its one-piece construction also means retaining the full 186 cm closed length.

[[JDMAS:slow-bump-c613-dm10-product]]

Stream Trout

TROUTIA: Stream-Trout Rods

TROUTIA is Tailwalk's stream-trout family. The representative Troutia feerique line combines traditional wood reel seats with conventional two-piece rods, pack rods, telescopic designs, and selected glass-composite or full-solid versions.

Representative line: Troutia feerique

Featured model: C52L

Specification	C52L
Reel type	Casting
Length and construction	5'2", two-piece
Lure rating	Maximum 7 g
Line rating	Maximum 6 lb
Closed length	82 cm

The C52L is a Regular-action stream-trout model listed for minnows, spinners, spoons, and vibration baits. Tailwalk describes its flexible blank as supporting accurate casts with a compact swing. It is a focused choice for anglers exploring Japanese stream-trout baitcasting, with a short fishing length and straightforward two-piece construction.

Choosing Your Starting Point

Begin with the presentation you want to fish, then compare the named model's lure or jig rating, line specification, action, and construction. A versatile series can help narrow a mixed-use setup; a specialist series makes more sense when the technique is already decided.

For travel or storage, compare the actual closed length rather than section count alone. For offshore fishing, keep jig rating and published drag limits separate from the casting-lure ratings used on shore rods.

[[JDMAS:tailwalk-rods-collection]]

Choose the series for its intended job, then the model for your actual tackle. That keeps the decision centered on the rod you will use, rather than on a series name or a single power letter.
