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.


Calista 86M / PF
Lure: Egi 2.5~4
Line: PE 0.4~1
"Calista 86M / PF (Power and Finesse) - A piece that pursues castability and response and seeks delicacy that overturns the common sense of power models"
Like the 82ML/AR, it is an all-round model that can be used regardless of the season, and what we wanted from this 86M/PF is a fusion of response and delicacy. In order to change the stereotype of the standard 86M with the standard length and power in egging, Blank has redesigned the design from the past model and rebuilt it as a completely new model. It is positioned as a high-response model that emphasizes power in the new Calista series, but in order not to lose its delicacy and high sensitivity performance, it can be said that Yamaga Blanks' current blank molding technology has been pursued. This is a must-have for those who already have a concept model close to the 86M, and its long-range throwing performance and high-responsive Egi operation feel at long distances condense the performance worthy of being called the new Calista. It is a model that excels in the ability to respond to situations where Egginger, who has a high level of technique and experience, can demonstrate his ability without stress, sometimes aggressively and even impatiently, while switching between stillness and movement.
