Yamaga Blanks - Lupus Area 61STT Trout Rod

Precision control for big, cautious trout

The Lupus 61STT is a specialised rod built for targeting trophy-sized trout using sight fishing and technical presentations. With a powerful backbone and precise lure control, it’s made for anglers who want to provoke bites from spooky, inactive fish using heavy-drag minnows and stop-and-go retrieves.

At 6'1", it offers the perfect mix of close-range accuracy and line control. The blank is crisp and responsive, letting you work long-lip or heavy sinking minnows with precision — ideal for methodical presentations where every movement counts. Whether you're trying to trigger a reaction bite or slowly teasing a lure past a holding fish, the 61STT gives you the tools to make it happen.

Despite its power, it remains lightweight and comfortable in hand, allowing for refined control during long sessions on the water.
