Common questions (3)
Is this the same as the version sold outside Japan?
This page is the Japan-market model from Tailwalk, sold in Japan as ティップバン TZ, and every figure here comes from Tailwalk's Japanese specifications. A model sold abroad under the same name may come in other sizes or with other specifications, so check the size code and weight on a listing against the table below.
Which size should I choose?
Rods are chosen by the squid-jig size you cast (2.5–4.0 go) and by length: around 8–8.6 ft (2.4–2.6 m) is the usual shore length, shorter for boats. Look for the lightest rod your budget allows, because you work the jig all day. A 2500-size spinning reel with PE 0.6–0.8 is the common set-up.
How much will it cost delivered to my country?
The Japan list price is ¥33,000–¥38,000 for these sizes. For an eBay listing, the total we show is the item, the seller's shipping and our estimate of the import duty and tax for the country you pick at the top right of the page; for a size with no listing we estimate from the Japan list price and Japan Post EMS rates. The rates are on our Import duty page. They are estimates, not a seller's price.
