This special model was designed to enable anglers to utilise various lures up to 40g to target various species. Even with the light specifications, anglers will easily be able to go head to head with smaller kingfish around 3kg. In addition to its lightness, the exquisite 8.8ft length will bring about great advantage to the anglers to find new targets in your local waters. This rod has been built as an "all purpose" rod that will surely gain the approval by many anglers as one of the most versatile shore casting light rods on the market.
You can go after kingfish, snappers, trevally, squid, tailor, salmon and boito from the rocks as well as flathead from the surf. This one rod will enable you to go after many different species in your local waters. The outstanding casting distance the YB 88 CHAIN creates and the ultimate balance between lightness and power will open up new doors for your future fishing.
Blurb from Yamaga Blanks - The making of the 88 Chain
To mark 15 years of Yamaga Blanks, we're releasing a "one of a kind" rod. Our years of experience come together in this model, a "chain" to the future. Our development goal was to create a high-performance rod for a range of uses. This project was born out of the need for a break from blue-runner rod fishing in rocky land. With numerous subspecies to target, a special "spare-rod" was required. Tests pushed us past what we thought possible, giving us a rod for many fields (break-water, rivers, ports, surf). It's the rod you want for every outing.
We are proud to release to the anglers around the world this unique rod developed through the state of the art design and technology of Yamaga Blanks, capable of handling the high drag of the newest reels on the market and high-spec PE lines to go after various species.
This rod is a “lone wolf” and does not belong to any of the existing series.
It is the materialization of our concept. Connecting our past to the future and linking different fields together. With these hopes and dreams, we have named it “Yamaga Blanks 88 Chain”.
While pursuing your main target with your main rod, the YB 88 Chain will allow anglers to further enjoy the day in the field. We hope you can enjoy our pride and joy in this product.
