KEISON Sea Blows
Hokkaido open-shore spinning rods for sea salmon and flatfish via float lures and metal jigs
The Tailwalk KEISON Sea Blows is a shore casting series developed specifically for Hokkaido's open-coast surf and rocky shore environment, made for sea-run salmon (sakuramasu, white-spotted char) and flatfish with long-distance casts in wind-exposed conditions. All four models are spinning rods ranging 10'2" to 12'4". The name references the exposed, wind-swept nature of the target fisheries. The lineup's hardware choices and lure range are oriented toward Japanese-style float lure rigs and heavy metal jigs instead of bait fishing.
Blanks use X-wrap carbon reinforcement in the butt section for torsional rigidity under load. The two shorter models (S102ML/M and S108M/MH) feature dual-designation power ratings and interchangeable balancing weight blocks (10/20/30 g) built into the end of the handle, a Tailwalk feature allowing anglers to tune overall balance for extended casting sessions. Fuji SKDPS reel seats with a back-stop lock-nut system and SiC/Alconite guide rings throughout. The S114H and S124H switch from Fast to Regular action, showing they are optimized for float-lure presentation instead of direct jig or minnow manipulation.
Four spinning models span three power steps: S102ML/M (10'2", ML–M, F) and S108M/MH (10'8", M–MH, F) are the versatile lure/jig models; S114H (11'4", H, R) and S124H (12'4", H, R) are the long-range float-lure rods. The progression from faster to regular action as length increases is deliberate, longer rods with Regular action cast float rigs more efficiently and absorb the fight of large pelagic salmonids.

Model notes
2 of 4 modelsDual power designation (ML/M) and Fast action make this the most versatile model, handles lighter minnows and jigs while retaining enough backbone for mid-weight metal. Adjustable weight block at the butt aids all-day casting comfort.
Longest and most specialized model in the series. Regular action and H power optimize it for long-range float-lure presentations made for salmon off exposed Hokkaido coast points. Limited versatility for non-float techniques.
