The Yamaga Blanks Galahad 1-Piece Jigging Rod Series is a premium range of offshore jigging rods designed to combine responsive jig control, powerful rebound and the strength required to target large tuna and other hard-fighting pelagic species.
Built around the advantages of 1-piece blank construction, the Galahad series delivers excellent sensitivity and manoeuvrability while retaining strong belly and butt power under load. The range has been developed to handle the increasingly varied styles of modern jigging, from shallow-water drift fishing through to deep vertical jigging.
The Galahad spinning models are designed to balance smooth jig movement with responsive handling. The 632S, 633S and 634S feature strengthened belly and butt sections with enough tip flexibility to work jigs naturally when the line is angled during drift fishing. They are equally capable of vertical jigging and are particularly versatile across changing current and water depths.
The more powerful 585S is designed for heavier vertical jigging applications. Its firmer blank responds quickly to high-pitch, one-pitch and long-jerk techniques while providing the lifting power required for large Bluefin Tuna, Amberjack, Kingfish and Dogtooth Tuna.
The Galahad baitcasting models take advantage of bait tackle for precise jig control, allowing anglers to transition easily between subtle lifting actions, controlled falls and more aggressive jig movements. Their high rebound characteristics provide excellent response without making the rods excessively stiff or difficult to work.
