SLOW BUMP MPG

The Tailwalk Slow Bump MPG is an offshore slow-pitch jigging casting rod based on MPG (Magnum Power Glass), a high-silica/alumina glass fiber with approximately 40% higher tensile strength and 5.5% elongation compared to standard E-Glass. The material is chosen specifically for slow-pitch applications where a deep, progressive bend and strong recovery spring are more important than stiffness. Target environment is mid-depth and deep-water vertical jigging from a boat, primarily over reef and bottom-dwelling species including amberjack, grouper, and sea bream.

Blank construction uses Tailwalk's GCULDP system (Graphite Core Ultra-Layered high-Density Pressure), which stacks multiple MPG layers at high density around a graphite core, the result is claimed to be 3–4x the layering of conventional MPG blanks. This gives the rod its characteristic parabolic bend with a snappy recovery, which propels slow jigs through their intended wide-flutter action. Fuji SiC ring guides are used throughout; guide friction resistance is relevant for deep drops with thin PE braid.

Two casting models at 6'1" with slow action, differentiated by drag max capacity: C613-DM10 (drag max 10 kg) and C615-DM15 (drag max 15 kg). Lure weight capacity reaches 350 g. The DM suffix directly indexes drag fighting class, not lure weight, making the distinction meaningful for made for different size classes of pelagic fish. Spinning models is absent.
