Yamaga Blanks FWP “GLOBAL” Series
This versatile model is specially designed for big fresh water predators like pike, hucho, catfish etc. These rods are powerful, light and precise.
FWP-78M
The FWP-78M has enough power to work quietly with minnow wobblers up to 130mm and jighead lures up to 30g, both from the boat and shore. In addition to power, the rod has good sensitivity and excellent throwing characteristics when fishing with light lures.
FWP-78MH
This model is designed for fishing with large silicone lures, swimbaits, and wobblers both from the boat and from the shore. It has a lot of power to fight large predatory fish and at the same time is quite sensitive when working with light lures.
FWP-90H
During testing in Europe, Yamaga Blanks focused on increasing the guide diameter to ensure ease of use in colder conditions, where guides are prone to freezing. The rod has enough power to cast lures up to 100g, while remaining sensitive enough for fishing with smaller, lighter lures around 20g. When you're casting long distances with large lures, this rod rises to the challenge. The FWP-90H was designed to cast big jig heads, 10 to 20cm minnows, and heavy sponge lures.
Yamaga's "Global" series rods are exclusively made for the international market and are not available in Japan.

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.
