Ripple Fisher Aquila Spinning Rod

ripple-fisher-logo.jpg

Refined and expanded for the 2019 season, Ripple Fisher's Aquila series has been built to defy the boundaries of casting from boat and shore. The entire range of rods is defined by its optimal synthesis of lifting power, easy lure handling, outstanding castability, and last but not least, the ability to bring the fight to angry fish.

The Aquila ST series includes all of the "standard" models, but don't let the name fool you; the only thing standard about these rods is that they all have the standard features for the casting game fused together at a higher dimension. Specifically, the standard performance measures of casting, lure maneuverability, hooksetting power, and fish fighting have all been taken to the next level. These rods 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 authority during the fight. 

ST78-3

This model's shorter length is designed for easy handling and casting for use on small to medium size boats. The tip section has sufficient stiffness to effectively work heavier lures, yet it still has the feel to cast smaller lures and maneuver them precisely. It is an ideal rod for targeting bonito, yellowtail, and kingfish, which require subtle lure control with light line. 

ST80-4

This medium powered rod is your PE4 class casting rod for your local waters. Once loaded, the rod bends smoothly towards the butt section, creating a beautiful arc. Although it has a sharp feeling, the slow-tapered rod is designed to bend towards the butt section to absorb the thrashing run and enable a stable fight against 10kg class Kingfish.

ST81-2

This model was developed to capture selective games such as Spanish mackerel and bonito fishing in the bay. We are particular about casting performance and operability of small lures, and have created a rod that anglers who place importance on developing the game until they hook a fish will definitely want to use it. After hooking a fish, the reliable bat allows for a speedy fight, allowing you to capture short periods at a good tempo. It is a sharp blank typical of the ST series, and the berry has just the right amount of firmness and is highly sensitive and has excellent lure maneuverability, and can be used to attract migratory fish that are threaded, such as jerking minnows.

ST85-6

This ST85-6 has enough sharpness on blanks to deliver a small lure like a bullet. Especially when you have to cast into boil of kingfish or tuna in head wind, you won’t lose accuracy and you can deliver the lure where you want. It has been designed to be worked as like your arms on manipulating and provide you a stability on fighting. (Previous name:85H)

MLT82-2/4

The MLT82-2/4 has a tip section of a PE2 class, enabling anglers to accurately cast and control small ~ super small lures. It is an ideal model to overcome the challenging game where the white-bait are on the target's main menu. With its outstanding casting ability and controllability of the small lures, anglers will be able to reach great distances when casting and won’t spook the fish from the presence of the boat. Although the tip section is light, the PE4 class butt section will enable anglers to maintain the initiative during the fight and lift the fish efficiently. Its versatility will allow anglers to target and land various species from the blue-runners, bonitos, dorados, and tuna. We hope this rod will assist those anglers who have been itching to cast smaller lures, farther, wider and with lighter line to catch your dream fish.

MLT82-3/6

This is a model with increased power to PE6 class compared to the MLT82-2/4, but for use with small lures and light line. The tip section has the flexibility of a PE3 while the butt section possessing the power of a PE6. When comparing to the ordinary PE6 class rod, anglers will be able to swing through with less effort while increasing the accuracy and casting distance. The blank will bend over nicely once loaded yet possessing the underlying power to stop the monstrous fish. During the testing of this model, we were able to catch a 47kg yellowfin tuna in less than 10 minutes with a PE4 line. With the contradicting features of power (for lifting the fish) and flexibility (for casting and controlling smaller lures), you could say that this rod is at the pinnacle of Ripple Fishers’ rod making technology.MST85-7+This is a model for anglers targeting supersize Kingfish with the use of 40g~ 120g lures. Although it is categorized as a power model, the lightness of the rod will allow anglers to cast all day long and freely pursue the lightning speed Kingfish. As the bending point transfers towards the angler once hooked up, anglers will be able to conduct a steady fight by countering your body weight against the fish by lowering your hips and loading the rod even when you’re almost against the bow railing. Furthermore, the length of the rod will also assist you when conducting long casts towards feeding tuna. (Previous name: Aquila 85H+
 
MST711-8+
 
This model is especially designed for anglers who face the dorado pattern, requiring them to utilize large lures up to 180g for the supersize Kingfish. It is also ideal for those anglers who like to go head to head with powerful fish in shallow areas. The underlying power of the rod also allows you to utilize this rod for the GT game. Compared to the ordinary GT rods, this rod will bend over more naturally, which is ideal for smaller/shorter and even female anglers.(Previous name: Aquila 711HH+)
 
MST82-9+
 
In the ever evolving Kingfish game, the need to use large lures has increased with the target feeding on large size bait-fish. The MST82-9+ was designed to enable anglers to fully-cast lures exceeding 240mm while easily controlling and maneuvering these mammoth lures. Furthermore, the Aquila MST series are especially designed to tenaciously bend-in while demonstrating outstanding lifting power when fighting against monstrous Kings in rough terrain and gushing currents. Although we have designed the rod with easy utility, it is the strongest of the series and one will require ample body strength and experience to maximize its true potential. Having said that, we are confident that this rod will help anglers in the toughest of conditions, against the biggest of fish while using these large lures.
