Gamakatsu Evening Princess Hana 2

Gamakatsu’s LUXXE YOIHIME HANA2 is a saltwater lure rod designed to maximize the strategic appeal of light-game fishing. Its significantly reduced overall weight enhances handling and sensitivity, while the design philosophy developed through practical fishing experience is concentrated in the solid tip. Tip length and diameter, along with blank characteristics, are finely tuned for each model. This makes it easier to detect changes in jighead load and line tension, enabling delicate control of the fall, lure trajectory, and lateral movement during a drift. For jighead-only applications, the lineup includes the S54AL-solid and S54FL-solid for handling ultra-light rigs, as well as the S57UL+-solid, which offers enhanced handling and butt power. The S62UL-solid and S69UL-solid are medium-distance models that handle not only jighead rigs but also split-shot rigs, light Carolina rigs, mini floats, micro jigs, and plugs. In addition, the S72M-solid, S80MH-solid, and S86H-solid combine powerful butts for long-distance casting with floats, Carolina rigs, and jigs, while pursuing sensitivity and handling that belie their long-rod design. With 14 models in total, the series offers options to match the fishing spot, rig, and level of tension control required.
