Yamaga Blanks - Lupus Area 61RM Retrieve Trout Rod

One rod to do it all — versatile, balanced, and beginner-friendly

The Lupus 61RM is the most versatile model in the Lupus range, built for anglers who want one rod to cover a wide variety of trout techniques. With a well-balanced regular taper blank, it’s equally at home retrieving spoons, working crankbaits, or twitching shallow minnows.

Its sensitive tip section picks up subtle bites with ease, while the slightly firmer belly helps deliver quick, confident hooksets. This blend of finesse and control makes the 61RM ideal for both experienced anglers looking for an all-purpose rod — and beginners after a high-quality, forgiving setup to grow with.

Capable of handling lures from 0.6 to 6g, this is the perfect everyday rod for covering stillwaters, ponds, and trout lakes when conditions and lure choices vary.
