Yamaga Blanks Galahad Jigging Rods
The Yamaga Blanks "Galahad" Jigging Rod series, consisting of one-piece models, is designed to offer power and maneuverability through a balance of bending and responsiveness, taking full advantage of the benefits of a one-piece structure. In recent years, metal jigs have become varied in terms of material, shape, and action, with numerous seasonal game patterns specific to different sea areas. Some areas also feature selective conditions due to high pressure, requiring anglers to have high adaptability. The primary goal of the Galahad series is adaptability. It combines light handling, responsiveness, and the backbone power to handle large pelagic fish, all at a high level, resulting in a model that allows anglers to utilize their diverse skills effectively.
The lineup offers 5 spinning models and 4 bait models. The 632S, 633S, and 634S models strengthen the midsection and butt for increased handling, making it easier to smoothly perform jerking with the line at an angle during slow trolling. The tip is designed to retain some flexibility, allowing for natural swimming actions with ease. The 585S and 526S models, which are specialized for vertical jigging, feature blanks with more rigidity throughout, designed for fast actions like high-pitch short jerks or one-pitch jerks. These rods provide light handling and quick responsiveness, enabling the jig to react efficiently. The four bait models are designed to improve operational responsiveness, utilizing the advantages of baitcasting reels. They cover fine lifting actions to fall actions, with a design that maintains high rebound power without being overly stiff, resulting in versatile rods that can handle a wide range of situations.
Model:
526S
The Gallahad 526S is a high-pitch specialized model designed for targeting large fish, such as big amberjack and yellowtail, typically in depths of up to 200 meters. By increasing the overall stiffness of the rod, it transmits jig action with even the smallest motions, allowing for quick handling that doesn’t feel restricted by depth. The rod bends smoothly yet powerfully, offering a reliable fight with strong butt power for handling unexpected big fish. This model is highly recommended for anglers looking to take on serious battles with thick lines and strong drag tension.

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.
