Ripple Fisher - Ultimo 710MH

Flagship performance for GT and kingfish – compact length, serious power.

The Ultimo 710MH is Ripple Fisher’s next-generation offshore rod, built for the modern casting game. At just under 8 feet, it’s compact and responsive – ideal for working tight corners on a large charter boat – yet packs enough grunt in the butt to turn serious fish before they run you into the reef.

It’s a standout for throwing diving pencils and medium poppers up to ~260mm, especially when switching between lure types in tough conditions. The sharp, stiff blank allows for precise control of topwater actions, while the rod’s surprising lightness and balance make it easy to handle over long sessions – even for anglers with a smaller build.

With a smooth, torque-filled bend under pressure and drag capacity up to 15kg, this is a serious tool for targeting big kingfish and giant trevally when you need both casting distance and fish-stopping power.
