Built for bluefin. Trusted by those chasing 200kg+ monsters.

The Big Tuna 76 JAPAN Special is Ripple Fisher’s answer for anglers tackling the upper limits of bluefin tuna — the real giants pushing 200kg or more. Whether you’re fishing around dolphin schools or matching small bait with sinking pencils, this rod offers the power and control needed for extended fights with oversized tuna.

Compared to the 73 model, the 76 shifts the bend point closer to the angler, helping to reduce fatigue while still maintaining crushing lifting power. It’s a proven weapon for the long game — where endurance, technique, and gear all matter.

The 76 also offers surprising versatility, with the ability to throw lures as light as 60g when conditions demand it, while still handling heavy stickbaits and poppers up to 180g with ease. Whether casting at distance or going toe-to-toe beneath the boat, this rod is built to perform under extreme pressure.
