Oh yeah the 2011 models have a different finish too Another viable option for anglers with shallower pockets like myself!!

Good find! Not much info on it, however... Any idea where to pick one up, besides Japan?

[Mike_Tan]

Guess any tackle dealer in your area who stocks Tailwalk Gunz should be able to get hold of it. In my neck of the woods Sabre Tackle handles Alpha Tackle, the main company behind Tailwalk & Seed. I'll be trying to secure the 10' model through them

Thanks. Do you by any chance know the size of the guides?

Size of guide isn't stated but they did mention the use of MNSG. Some of their latest YT casting sticks are fitted with K guides though. Glad they stuck to MNSG and kept the price point low.

Definitely agree. I wonder how something like this would compare to the defi muthos....

[Mike_Tan]

No idea how the Defi behaves but might be ordering the O.M 12' from my local A-Tec dealer

If you don't mind, can you let me know your impressions if you happen to pick it up. Thanks. I would probably have to see if plat could bring it in.
