Yamaga Blanks Galahad Jigging Rods
The Yamaga Blanks Galahad Jigging Rod was redesigned in 2019 in order to respond to the diversified and subdivided jigging scenes, we reviewed the design from the concept and poured the best of the technology of Yamaga Blanks into this new series. In recent years, metal jigs have a wide variety of materials, shapes, and actions, and there are many seasonal game patterns peculiar to the sea area. In some areas, there is a selective situation due to high pressure, and anglers are required to have a high level of response. The first thing that the New Galahad series sought was adaptability, which combines agile operability, followability, and blank power that is compatible with large blue-green fish at a high level, making it a model that can make full use of angler's various skills. In contrast, the 585S and 526S, which have a strong feeling of manual operation, are specialized for spinning vertical jigging and have power throughout the entire blank. The conventional series is a blank that combines four of sensitivity, delicacy, operability, and reduction of physical load, which are indispensable for bait jigging, and improvement of operation response. It corresponds from to fall action.
Model Descriptions:
632S
It is a light class model with a tip that does not play a bite and a berry that follows obediently. While having high sensitivity performance that feels even a slight change in tidal current, the flexible blank prevents the hook from stretching even when using a line break or a thin shaft hook, and when a high load is applied, a bat that works well with a bat gives you a sense of security. It is possible to fight with. By taking action while keeping the tip while being conscious of the waist of the berry, it is easy to produce a natural swim without horns, and it shows its true character in situations where you are conscious of "feeding" or in areas where you are under high pressure. Although it is delicate, it is one of the offensive games that can be used for gachinko games. (Released in February 2019)
633S
An all-rounder model for inshore jigging. It adapts to a wide range of scenes from one-pitch jerk in DoTERRA to combination jerk in vertical, and attracts the target with a light and comfortable operation feeling. The sensitivity performance is also high, and you can quickly detect the "cling to the jig" of a fish that does not catch the needle, such as an attack on the jig or leader, and switch the tempo with good response to shift to the action of feeding. Basically, it is a power-up model of 632S, please select 633S if you use a lot of jigs around 150g, and 632S if you use a lot of jigs around 120g.
634S
It is a model that specializes in the action of flying long jigs naturally, and has berries and bats that transmit the action to the jig even at points with deep water, fields with fast tides, and doterra sinks in strong winds. It also has enough power, and it is effective even in situations where you are forced to exchange forcibly at rough root points, such as around amberjack where you can not run fish, from aiming for amberjack in the shallow area. Not only the basic one-pitch, but also the combination, slow tempo, and versatility that can be used in all situations depending on how you use it are the core of the New Galahad series.
585S
This model is based on the amberjack and amberjack games that capture high-pitch mid and deep waters such as inshore waters and remote islands. The slender, short-length blank produces a highly responsive operability, allowing you to approach the target regardless of the jig shape. Of course, when fighting, it has bat power that can withstand the strong pressure of PE5 class. This is a book that demonstrates its true value in situations where emphasis is placed on appeal, with the speedy development that can only be achieved by verticals that pinpoint the reaction of fish reefs, streams and fish school.
526S
A high-pitch specialized model that targets large amberjacks that live around fishing reefs, including large amberjacks and blackfin tuna in the Kuroshio area, with a maximum depth of 200m. By raising the tension of the entire rod, it is easy to transmit actions to the jig even in small motions, and we are good at quick operation that does not make you feel the water depth. It is tenacious but smoothly bends as a whole, and the bat that remains firmly realizes a fight with a sense of security even for unexpectedly large ones. It is a recommended piece for anglers who want to challenge the game with thick line hydration tension.
622B
A bait model that emphasizes operation response, using the light line up to PE2 in the near sea. With delicate and nimble operability, it makes full use of the action of feeding according to the situation, from swimming action mainly for reeling that is conscious of tip, short pitch jerk with sharpness that is conscious of berry and bat, and fall action, and targets. You can approach. It is a recommended model for yellowtail and amberjack who challenge with delicate attacks on the light line.
623B
The core model of the Gallahad bait jigging series that makes full use of the PE3 class. It is easy to input continuous actions lightly even with slow tempo one pitch, long fall, and high pitch jerk, and it corresponds to various actions and jigs. In addition, the high-sensitivity performance has been sharpened, so we are good at fine pitch adjustment, and delicate capture is possible. It is one that can technically aim for yellowtail, amberjack, and amberjack with a blank design that pursues comfortable operability by packing the elements necessary for jigging with bait tackle.
624B
A model born to capture unimpeded targets such as Hiramasa and Amberjack who challenge PE4 class. The slender and sharp blank creates a transmission to the jig that matches not only high pitch action but also fall slow action and approaches the target with various invitations. Especially at the point where the tide is fast and in the deep area, this model makes full use of the response of the bait tackle, and you can fully enjoy the real pleasure of jigging that you can hang it as you imagine.
526B
The same blank bait model as the 526S. The main target is large amberjack and bluefin tuna lurking in the Kuroshio region up to a water depth of 200 m, and by making it a bait specification, even under the situation of two tides, it reduces the physical exhaustion and load in the high pitch action of winding. Also, while grasping the changes in tide pressure tightly, it expands the range of more detailed action operations. After hitting, it bends tenaciously, and it can be used for a wide range of fights, from standing with a rod equipped with a belt to fighting in an armpit.
