Yamaga Blanks Ballistick Seabass & Surf Rods 2025

The Ballistick series has been the high end option for Japanese seabass fishing and the new model expands on that with application specific rods that are tailored to the extremes of technique. This style crosses over well to heavier striper and surf fishing in general making most of the models extremely good options for surf fishing. The rods are all very light for the length and line test they're made to fish, featuring the highest end Fuji titanium components. Whether you're casting jigs, swimbaits, jerkbaits or other hardbaits these lures will give you plenty of recoil to cast aggressively without being too stiff to work smaller lures.
