Reconstruction from the beginning.
Yamaga Blanks' eging rod series "Callista" is a flagship model that emphasizes lightness, nimble casting feel, and operability, and has been loved to this day through repeated renewals since the first model released in 2013.
And in the fall of 2023, Calista will fully renew its lineup. In the current segmented fishing scene, techniques have diversified and angler skills have also greatly evolved. Among these, the significance of releasing a new Eging rod series is one. This is because we want eging anglers to have the current highest values of lightness, castability, and response that Yamaga Blanks, the blank manufacturer, demands.
The new Calista not only uses the latest carbon materials, but also uses our design capabilities and technology to refine the blank to its limits. We aim for all models to have high basic performance that can be used as main models, and while evolving the original concept of making them easy for anyone to use, making full use of techniques, and being able to cast farther distances more easily than you can imagine, we have developed the power of blanks. We have sharpened the individuality of each model so that you can feel it to the fullest.
This new Callista is the crystallization of Yamaga Blanks' latest technology, rebuilt from its origins, and is a model that cannot be described as simply a renewal or a new model. If I had to say it, it would be "Callista Origin."
With this new Calista series, you can get a feel for what Yamaga Blanks continues to strive for in the best genre for blank shops called eging.

Among the unique new Calista series, it can be said to be the new standard that allows you to experience the concept the most. All-round model. The blank, which combines long-distance casting performance, egg control performance, sensitivity, and power at a high level, is the core of the series and will demonstrate its true value regardless of the season or situation. The blank, which was developed with the absolute mission of enhancing the stress-free usability, maintains the concentration of the angler and is a weapon with high practicality and combat power even in the modern fishing scene where high-level game development is required. It will be. The blank, which is easy to handle yet has sharpness, has good swingability and long-distance performance when casting, and when it comes to jerking, you can manipulate the rod as you want, and adjust the line slack to achieve the desired action. I'll tell Egi. It is a representative model of Calista, which has been polished to perfection, and we can recommend it with confidence.

【English Commentary】New Calista ～Commentary of characteristics～
We want to introduce you to” New Calista”.
■What is Calista?
①The long-anticipated renewal of the Calista with eging specific material selection & design
Our Mission was to surpass the already well-known & loved Calista, surpassing such a high degree of perfection was a challenge that was ultimately completed through higher scrutiny of material & blank design.
Our objectives for the latest Calista are higher sensitivity, better casting distance, high operability & high response performance for the latest Calista.
②A Rod of unparalleled strength with minimal effort applied
A lineup to pursue the ease of fishing that reduces fishing fatigue on the anglers’ wrists and elbows. In other words, Minimal effort ‒ Calista ‒ Higher Output.
③Combining the best of both worlds’ strength yet responsive
Contrary to its suppleness, it has a sharpness, and the blank speed in restoration and convergence is very fast and powerful.
While achieving increased cast distance and improved operability, it also has a strong resilience that quickly lifts while absorbing jet injection.
■Tackle setting
①Refinement of the power in the blank to maximize the advantages of light PE line
In the modern eging scene, line weights and reel sizes have been reduced, which calls upon the need for refinement of the power in the blank to harness the benefits.
The blank has been refined to bend and help assist the line when under heavy load to prevent unnecessary line breakages.
②Casting effectively and effortlessly through enhanced blank performance
The new Calista blank we have developed has been refined for casting with lighter PE lines, so less effort is required to load the blank when compared to the previous model of Calista. A loaded blank has a better trajectory and is easier to launch lure further even
under the effects of wind.
