Yamaga Blanks is the rod brand of Yamaga Tsurigu Co., Ltd. (株式会社山鹿釣具), a rod manufacturer founded in November 1989 in Nagomi, Tamana District, Kumamoto Prefecture. The brand launched in 2008, and its rods are made start to finish in the company's own factory in Japan: blank design, cutting and rolling carbon prepreg, oven curing, inspection, sanding, painting, wrapping and assembly. Yamaga gives in-house production as the reason it can test and revise prototypes quickly, and states that every blank is inspected by hand after it leaves the oven.
The first products were the Galahad jigging rods and one-piece EARLY boat rods. The current lineup runs from the BlueCurrent light-game rods (BlueCurrent III, TZ/NANO, the 4-piece Wizy and the limited NEW-DAWN models) through the Ballistick seabass rods and the EARLY casting family (for Rock, Seabass, Boat, Mobile and Surf), the Calista, Mebius and BattleWhip squid rods, and the SeaWalk boat rods for light jigging, tai rubber, tachiuo (hairtail) jigging and vertical work. The Galahad jigging rods include the 2-piece TRAVEX and electric-reel models, and the BlueSniper shore and boat casting rods go up to PE 10 for tuna and other pelagics. Lupus covers area trout and native trout. The company also makes fly rods, which are not listed in this catalog.
Each model page gives blank length in millimetres, carbon content, the Fuji guide and reel seat parts, grip dimensions and recommended Daiwa and Shimano reel sizes, and the series pages carry static load comparison charts. Japanese prices are listed ex-tax, and the rods are sold abroad through agents in other countries.
What Yamaga Blanks is known for
