Ripple Fisher Big Tuna
The Ripple Fisher BIG TUNA must be a series that will continue to effect anglers in the ever-changing environment and lead a path forward to the future. In recent years, there have been super-size tuna in the Japan sea and the style of fishing has evolved to utilize super strong line exceeding PE14 specifications with straight pumping. The BIG-TUNA 70 is our answer to such situations to eliminate all limitations we have previously placed upon ourselves. We did not simply make it more bendy nor make it cast farther than before. Rather, through the combination of various different materials of carbon sheets and unique taper design with underlying butt power, we were able to realize a rod capable of enduring extreme load while the repulsive force lifting the fish from the deep.
Big Tuna 83 JS
This model was developed with “lure control” and “fight” as its main focus, but it goes without saying that casting is also outstanding. It is a PE6~8 middle class rod not only able to pinpoint cast but also able to utilize small mouthed diving poppers and diving pencils required for an attack. You will be able to realize the evolution of our BIG-TUNA series with its lightness and outstanding balance, allowing anglers to cast all day long. Furthermore, the bending point is set close to the body enabling anglers to easily bend in and capitalize on the butt power with little effort.
Big Tuna 86 JS
If you require long and accurate casting with a heavy class tackle, this 86 will be your choice. In comparison to your ordinary heavy tackle, the flexible tip on the 86 will allow for easier casting of smaller lures when the bait-fish are small though the Tuna are huge. The bending point (pivotal point) is closer to the body allowing anglers to take initiative during the fight.
Big Tuna 710RT
This is the model to suit the current tuna scene. Since we have designed the taper of the blank to be most productive in the butt section, anglers will be able to efficiently and effectively utilize the butt power to lift the tuna. It’s not simply a more flexible model compared to its predecessor, but a highly well-balanced heavy class model able to effortlessly stimulate bites from casting top water lures while having the power to go head to head with the biggest of fish.
Big Tuna 70 Special
This is for those anglers with their sights on super monstrous Blue-fin tuna. It is model for anglers who need to “high-stick the rod” to load the blank or utilize the “straight pumping” fight style. The power of the rod is similar to the BT76 and BT73 but the breaking point is much greater compared to these two. With the shorter designed blank, the bending point is set closer to the body, drastically reducing the load and stress on the angler. It also has enough length and leverage to go around the bow or other obstacles on the boat for a smoother fight.
