Anybody know the difference between the model years if any? I seem to remember last year as LTM model designation and now it is LTMU?

The (older) TMU model has the full cork handle.
The (newer) LMTU model has the split grip handle.
I do not know when the split grip models became available (what exact year).
The older models had perpendicular line guides.
The new ones being angled slightly forward.
According to the PDF online:
Fuji® K-Series Concept Tangle Free guides with Alconite® rings and polished frames. Ideal for super braid, mono and fluorocarbon lines, the sloped frame and ring “shed” tangles before they become a problem.
After talking with both St. Croix I believe the "trigger" handle has also been changed.
I have called the St. Croix phone number several times.
They have helped when choosing rod models and are great resources.
Well worth the 5-15 minutes if you need more specific information.
