Yamaga Blanks Galahad Slow Jigging Rods 2024

The older models of Galahad slow pitch rods were discontinued a few years ago but they've decided to release an "outside of Japan" Global exclusive series with new upgraded Titanium components and redesigned blanks making them more versatile and usable for the kind of fishing we do here in the US. The heavier two models are even suitable for lighter speed jigging due to the added recoil to work larger slow pitch jigs. 

As opposed to other Japanese SPJ rods these feature a palming seat which is much more comfortable and more importantly durable than the typical T-DPS seat you see on a lot of rods, this makes them more ergonomic to jig with. The guide layout and guide sizes vary across all models, but all use a combination of double and single foot Fuji titanium SiC guides. Yamaga Blanks rods come with a 2 year international warranty.

Galahad Slow 621 “Global”

A sensitive model for attacking with sensitive tackle settings using light lines. The flexible tip suppresses the initial speed of the jig when actioning, automatically making a natural fall action. This model is necessary for targets with low activity or for situations where a sensitive strategy is required, such as when hooking a nibble that seems to play around with a jig, and where targets often loose or hook out.

Galahad Slow 584 “Global”

To comfortably manipulate 300 to 500g jigs under special conditions such as deep waters, tidal currents, and complex double tides, the blank has strong tension and torque, even in high water pressure. It is possible to transmit the action to the jig with less burden on the body. The response of the combination, from the quick action to targets with high swimming ability such as amberjack, to the fall action, is the best in the series. This model is also recommended for targeting large rock fish in deep waters.
