Ripple Fisher - Big Tuna 710RT Japan Special
Ripple Fisher - Big Tuna 710RT Japan Special is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Built for all-day casting. Ready for tuna to 150kg.
The 710RT is Ripple Fisher’s modern take on their classic heavy-class tuna rod, redesigned to meet the evolving demands of today’s bluefin and yellowfin fisheries. With a focus on efficient lifting power and casting comfort, this model is ideal for anglers needing to throw stickbaits and poppers all day without compromising on strength.
The updated blank features a more responsive taper that loads deeper into the butt section, helping you maintain pressure on big fish without gassing out early. While not overly stiff, the rod retains the authority needed to stop powerful runs and lift tuna from depth. Its balance between castability and power makes it a go-to option when you're chasing fish in the 60–150kg class range.
