GAMAKATSU 2022 Luxxe 24697 Yoihime Hana 2 S72M-solid

The Yoihime Hana series, which pursues the gameplay of the light game category, has undergone further evolution and has been reborn. We have refined the high-dimensional operability and clear reverberation sensitivity performance created by significantly reducing the weight of the entire rod. We have a rich lineup that supports various fishing methods and rigs.

Ajing Meister Shinichiro Fujiwara about Hana2 : 

Operability and sensitivity required for light games. The "Yoihime Hana" series began with the task of rebuilding what was necessary for them from scratch. By stripping away everything that is not necessary, we have created a simple and lightweight rod that brings out and sharpens the angler's sensibilities.

Based on the knowledge gained from "Hana", this work "Hana2" is to boil down more operability and sensitivity, where you can see the fine setting of the solid, the holdability of the reel seat, the weight and shape of the end grip. etc. In addition to those, we have expanded the taper, feel, and range of assumed situations. Along with the growing popularity of light games, not only the situations to capture, but also the ways to enjoy them are expanding.

Each model has a plain name that only has length and power on the notation, but there are 14 models that are full of individuality. We hope that you will enjoy the "sophistication of the Hana Series", which is lightweight, agile, and has high detection capabilities.

A super sensitive rod that controls fishing ports in fierce battlefields

The popularity of horse mackerel is unstoppable, and the night lights of fishing ports in the suburbs of the city are truly overcrowded. In peak season, in some cases it is even difficult to find a fishing spot. “It is true that fishing under a night light is easy and fun, but from now on, I would like to hone my skills to find patterns without going under a night light.”

That's why the sensitivity of the rod is a big weapon. There are many points not only in the port but also outside the port where there are no lights. There is also an increasing need to change to a longer length model and fish spots where people can't reach. “Actually, during the peak season from late autumn, horse mackerel often migrate even in pitch-dark places where the tide is good,” says Fujiwara. Even in such various situations and points, it is the Hana2 lineup, which has a total of 14 models, that can achieve the best sensitivity and operability.

Solid tip that leads to the ultimate world

The solid tip model can greatly change the characteristics of the rod just by changing the taper, length, thickness, etc. of the solid. If it is a delicate rod such as a light game rod, even a slight adjustment will have a big impact. In addition, considering the total length of the rod and the power taper on the tubular side, the degree of freedom in design reaches a tremendous area. For Hana2, the development team adjusted the length of the solid in units of several millimeters together with the tubulars, and the thickness in units of 0.05mm to achieve the characteristics that Fujiwara wanted.

"Real ease of handling" realized by sharpened individuality

The Hana2, which is lighter and has significantly improved "reverberation sensitivity" and "load sensitivity," has become even easier to handle as a result. "So to speak, each one is 'this situation SP' (laughs)." More delicate tension control becomes dramatically easier by changing the rod.
“It’s not just about winding or falling, but when you’re being drifted, there are options such as sending it down while drifting, increasing the tension a little and moving it sideways, or tightening the winding and making a U-turn.
There is a close relationship between rod length and action in order to increase the tension and feel the bite.This is the same for any rig.” Therefore, 57UL+, which is a little harder than 54AL and UL, is added for jigs only.
FL was subdivided into 5'4", 5'9", 6'8", and UL was also subdivided into 5'7", 6'2", 6'9". The versatile L is divided into two, 6'4" and 7'2", and the ML is shortened to 6'4" and the M to 7'2". The H, which is on par with the 8'0" MH, is longer at 8'6". “Intermediate to advanced players will definitely feel the joy of drawing out the potential of each model.” This is the message from Shinichiro Fujiwara contained in the deployment of Hana2.

S72L-solid : 

"Medium range spécialité"

While having the strength to handle a medium-range rig, the length setting of the first half of 7 feet has achieved a very sharp swing feeling. You can enjoy not only the wharf but also Gorota Beach, etc. without choosing a scaffolding.
For floats, the style is to explore at a good tempo at around 10g.

An almighty model that allows you to enjoy light games in general. You can lightly attack a wide variety of targets in the middle range range such as heavy weight jig single, split, caro, float, jig, plug.

The tip of the solid type uses a delicate carbon solid (joint with the tubular) for action. If the load is concentrated on a part of the tip, it may cause damage. Please be careful when handling the line wraps, cases, etc. when storing or moving.
