One has to fish with a Yamaga rod of the TZ series, to fully notice the lightness, the high sensitivity, the accuracy in casting, the feeling of totally controlling your lure and eliminating unwanted wobbling and the massive power hidden in the butt section, which increases, the more the blank bends.

The Yamaga Blanks Blue Current TZ New Dawn rod series, has been developed for the 2024 overseas markets. The new rods have been based on the experience derived from flagship models, the development of which incorporates the vast experience and knowledge in designing Light Game blanks by the Japanese leading company.

One has to fish with a Yamaga rod of the TZ series, to fully notice the lightness, the high sensitivity, the accuracy in casting, the feeling of totally controlling your lure and eliminating unwanted wobbling and the massive power hidden in the butt section, which increases, the more the blank bends. Various models of different properties comprise the Blue Current Global TZ series, hence there is a rod with the characteristics to cover the particular situations that anglers have to face and target specific species. The Blue Current TZ rod models support anglers who never stop exploring, to find new fishing methods and tactics on their own.

The Blue Current 78 TZ has a moderate amount of stiffness all the way to the tip, while also being able to bend smoothly under load. When casting, the 78TZ has a high repulsion force, even though its whole blank bends as one unit, so the casting feeling is also nice. Since the blank bends progressively, it is also suitable for retrieving action. The Yamaga Blanks Blue Current New Dawn 78TZ is a rod that can be used in various depths, from the bottom to the surface, with either slow, or fast action giving the angler a wide range of styles, to turn fish on.

The Blue Current 74 TZ features the sharpest blank in the Blue Current series. Because it is hard all the way to the tip, it has excellent bottom sensing ability, and the lure can be operated with sharp actions. This rod is recommended to those anglers who want to easily adjust the action of their lures when fishing conditions require so.

The Blue Current TZ rods are equipped with Torzite Titanium Frame K Guides by Fuji, which are lightweight and create less friction.

One point worth focusing on, is the analysis provided by a leading company, such as Yamaga Blanks, regarding the Casting Weight of its rods and how this becomes a determining factor, in the rod design process, but also for the ideal use of lures and rigs. Casting Weight for premium rods, such as the Yamaga Blanks, is not just a number that indicates the weight of the bait a rod can cast, but a series of measurements that determine during the blanks construction, whether the rod casts properly, if it produces the right bending curve, or if it will properly manage lures made of different materials, at different depths.

Each type of artificial bait (whether it is a Pencil, Minnow, Jigheads with Silicones, Jig, etc.) but also rigs (such as Caro, Carolina, Texas, Fluke) have different casting requirements. The rods casting distance however, is determined by many factors such as weight, the mass of the lure, or rig and the weather conditions (a factor which does not affect the construction of the blank). Add to the above the depth to which our lure must reach and you can understand how many factors determine, whether our rod works properly, or not.

In this case, Yamaga Blanks gives us plenty of information and details about the development of the blanks of the TZ series regarding the Casting Weight, according to the type of the lure, or rig. For example, rigs such as the Caro, Carolina, Texas, and Fluke face greater air resistance during casting than a Jig, or Minnow (Plug) thus these rods allow us to use more weight in such rigging, in an effort to achieve a better casting distance, without putting the rod under pressure. On the other hand, a Minnow lure is more compact and can achieve a better shot with less weight. To sum up, Yamaga Blanks provides detailed information about the Casting Weight of the TZ rod series, depending on the type of lure we are going to use, its characteristics – such as weight – and the requirements to perform great casts. The Casting Weight mentioned is the ideal range for any category of lure, or rigging.

Bending Curve

It is a bending comparison, with a static load of 250 g applied to the Blue Current TZ series. The static load comparison does not express all the characteristics of the rod. This comparative image shows the weight gently hung with the reel set on the rod. The momentary repulsive force of the rod and the feeling of use when operating the lure are not expressed. Please see it as a comparison of the power and condition of the rod.
