RIPPLE FISHER BIG TUNA 70 JAPAN SPECIAL

RIPPLE FISHER BIG TUNA 70 JAPAN SPECIAL

In Japan, we have a variety of species of Tuna, including the bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, dogtooth etc. Each species inhabit different seas with different current conditions, water temperature, baits and sizes. Furthermore, the size of these species tend to be growing and with the evolution of our fishing tackle and the improvement of the anglers capabilities, super large size (200kg class) tuna have started being caught. In order to adapt to the ever changing conditions and situations, we have started the reconstruction of the BIG-TUNA series. 

To begin with, we have added the 83 to the series in 2020 as the successor for the long hit in past years. Tuna rods are the largest and most powerful series of rods and thus require the most intricate carbon sheet patterns and techniques in order to create the blanks. We need to continue evolving and improving our techniques to keep up with the most up to date fishing techniques and style. Please stand by and look forward to future developments in the BIG-TUNA series.

BIG TUNA 70 JAPAN SPECIAL

This is for those anglers with their sights on super monstrous Blue-fin tuna. It is model for anglers who need to “high-stick the rod” to load the blank or utilize the “straight pumping” fight style. The power of the rod is similar to the BT76 and BT73 but the breaking point is much greater compared to these two. With the shorter designed blank, the bending point is set closer to the body, drastically reducing the load and stress on the angler. It also has enough length and leverage to go around the bow or other obstacles on the boat for a smoother fight.
