The History of YAMAGA BLANKS

Integrated production in their own factory

YAMAGA Blanks, established in 2008 as a brand of YAMAGA TSURIGU Co., Ltd., specializes in the manufacturing of high-quality saltwater lure rods. Their integrated production process takes place at their factory in Kumamoto, Japan, where they oversee every aspect of rod creation, from blank design and winding to painting, assembly, inspection, and shipping. This commitment to domestic production ensures that we maintain the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship, both now and into the future.

Technology accumulated by pursuing various targets from small to huge.

The launch of the BlueCurrent series of light game rods marked a significant advancement for YAMAGA Blanks, enhancing its presence in both domestic and international salt lure fishing markets. Designed primarily for targeting horse mackerel and rockfish, this innovative lineup complements YAMAGA's extensive offerings for various saltwater species, including sea bass, squid, and offshore targets such as amberjack, tuna, and GT. As a result, the brand is poised to gain increased recognition among anglers seeking high-performance equipment for diverse saltwater fishing applications.

Experience and technology gained from lure fishing to the world of fly fishing.

YAMAGA Blanks is set to leverage their extensive experience in salt lure fishing to enhance the fly fishing segment. Co-designed with one of Asia's best fly-casters and field-trialed in Europe, YAMAGA's newly launched fly rod series consists of LINN for mountain streams, ZINN for trout, and ENNE for saltwater applications. Each model embodies their commitment to "creating a truly reliable tool," ensuring that every angler has access to equipment that meets the highest possible standards of quality and performance.
