Yamaga Blanks 88 Chain
This model is the culmination of the techniques Yamaga Blanks has accumulated over the years, and it is the result of their desire to create a rod that will serve as a wedge, connecting the craftsmanship they've developed so far with the future direction they aim to pursue.
The concept is "A high-performance rod that connects fields to fields."
The development of this rod began with the idea of targeting shore bluefish from rocky islands. When fishing for large targets with PE line of #4 or higher, they also wanted to target smaller migrating fish, rockfish, squid, and, if there were surf conditions, even try for a sea bass. This led to the need for multiple rods. Therefore, Yamaga blanks thought, "We want to create the ultimate sub-rod for the rocky shore, one that will also be versatile enough to target species beyond the main target." This was the starting point.
There were many twists and turns before they reached the final model, but as they pursued higher power, lighter weight, and better casting performance, the concept evolved. What started as a sub-rod for rocky shore fishing expanded into a rod that could bridge various fields, such as breakwaters, harbors, rivers, and surf. The result is a rod that, like a chain connecting different fields, can be taken anywhere and used with confidence.
This rod is based on YAMAGA BLANKS' latest design technology, and it maximizes the performance of modern PE lines and the drag capabilities of the latest reels. Yamaga Blanks is confident that this model is one they can proudly present.
This rod will not be part of any existing lineup but will stand alone as a unique series. It embodies the core concept of YAMAGA BLANKS and reflects our hope to connect the past and future, and to link different fields together like a chain. For this reason, they have named it "YAMAGA BLANKS 88 CHAIN."
While focusing on your main target with your primary rod, with the YB 88 CHAIN, you can fully enjoy everything the field has to offer that day. Yamaga Blanks hopes you experience the results of their pursuit of performance in this rod.

About Yamaga Blanks-
Rod building is a craft that Yamaga Blanks, a sister company with Ripple Fisher, has been perfecting since 2008 in their factory in Kumamoto, Japan. The craftsmen that work on these rods are seasoned and often have discussions with the designers to create a better product. Rods are repeatedly tested to make them tougher, lighter, and easier to fish.
