Tailwalk was launched in 2006 by ATEC Inc., a Numazu-based tackle manufacturer and distributor whose roots extend to 1947. ATEC had been producing fishing gear under the alphatackle banner since 1978, giving tailwalk a foundation in boat and offshore engineering before the brand pivoted to shore-based lure fishing. The KEISON trout sub-line, introduced in 2008, was one of the brand's earliest signals that it would build deep specialist catalogs rather than broad general-purpose lineups.
Over roughly two decades tailwalk grew from a domestic Japanese label to an export brand stocked at approximately 800 retailers in Japan and available across around 50 countries. Its catalog now spans shore casting, offshore jigging, eging, ajing, trout, bass, and sea-bream fishing — all organized around a three-tier structure (TZ at the top, SSD in the middle, SD at entry level) that lets anglers choose appropriate specifications at each price point. Nearly all rods in the lineup are rated in PE line classes rather than monofilament pounds, reflecting the brand's orientation toward Japanese light-tackle methods.
What Tailwalk is known for
Tailwalk is best known for PE-line-optimized rods built around Japanese light-game disciplines — particularly eging (squid jigging), ajing (horse mackerel on jig heads), and shore metal jigging. Its tiered TZ / SSD / SD system gives each category a clear performance ladder, and the long-running KEISON platform has made the brand a recognized name in Japanese trout fishing from mountain streams to coastal sea-run fisheries.
