RIPPLE FISHER AQUILA ST 78-3

The Aquila ST series are models which have had all the standard yet important factors for the casting game fused together at a high dimension. Specifically, the standard performances of casting, lure maneuverability, hooking up the fish and fighting. They have a sharp feeling and once the rods are loaded with the fish, the bending curve will gradually transfer towards the angler, allowing for a steady fight utilizing the butt power to maintain the initiative of the fight. We have prepared 3 power classes of PE #3, #4 and #6 to cater for various species and situations.

AQUILA ST 78-3

The shorter rod length is designed for easy handling and casting for use on small ~ medium size boats. The tip section has sufficient stiffness, yet allows anglers to cast smaller size top water plugs to maneuver on the surface. It is an ideal rod for targeting bonitos, yellowtails and Kingfish, which require subtle lure control with light line. For those who own boats, you can target various species with this single versatile short length rod.

BENDING CURVE

The characteristics of the new Aquila series during the fight: 
The characteristics of the rods will vary depending on the model during the fight. 

• The ST and EX series have the most standard bending curve and is a well balanced rod to target various species (all species of blue-runners and light GT).

Caution when fighting: 

• We would like to ask anglers to be cautious during the fight with the ST, MST and EX series. We recommend anglers to load the rod with your counter body weight by lowering your body position, instead of high sticking the rod.
• For the ST, MST and EX series, high sticking the rod will not bring out the true power of the rod and may result in the breakage of the rod.
