Ripple Fisher Ocean Voyager GTXpedition Travel Rods

New for 2020, Ripplefisher’s 3 piece travel rod, “GTXpedition”. In light of recent travel restrictions, Ripple Fisher set the collapsed length to 887mm for the PE6 and PE8 class rods. Not only are these rods suitable for GT fishing in exotic locations, but also for targeting massive kingfish. The GTXpedition is light for its class, has outstanding balance, and has an action conducive for throwing both stickbaits and poppers, while maintaining a parabolic bending curve, easing the stress on the angler. 

Model Descriptions:

81M

The 81M model is a PE6 class multi-piece travel rod, designed to target GT and Kingfish. In particular, this model is ideal for use with diving pencils and small mouthed poppers. Anglers will be able to cast into strong head winds with its added sharpness and parabolic blank will assist anglers in maintaining balance during the fight, and efficiently lift the fish. The 81M provides one with the opportunity to go head to head against 30-40kg-class GT, while being a light, sharp, PE6 class rod.

81MH

The 81MH is a PE8 class multi piece travel rod, designed to primarily target large size GTs.  In particular, this model is ideal for use with large diving pencils and medium size mouthed poppers. The sharpness of the blank reduces the load on the angler, when casting all day long. Contrary to the 81M, this model is more muscular and has a sharper blank, reducing fight time. The 81MH allows anglers to load the blank and stop the fish in shallow waters or around rough structures.

Ripple Fisher GTX 81MH Xmas Limited

The 2025 Ripple Fisher GTX 81MH limited edition model represents the joys of fishing. The rod has been designed with a different colour for each blank.

Ripple Fisher's 3-piece pack rod "GTX edition" is reborn. In consideration of the recent expedition circumstances, the new GTX pedal has been revised in terms of bending and power while keeping the closing dimension to 887 mm, further improving the perfection as a 3-piece rod. We have thoroughly pursued fighting performance with a cast feel that does not seem like a multi-piece rod and a smooth bent curve, and have achieved performance comparable to a two-piece rod.
The lineup of PE6 and 8 classes is a lineup that takes into consideration not only GT but also Hiramasa boat casting. Furthermore, by combining it with the same 3-piece model, Aquila-EX, it becomes possible to systematically expand a wide range of games from PE3 to 8 and expand the range of game options during expedition.
In a sense, the GTX is a model that has challenged the limits of our technology. Please experience Ripple Fisher that evolves with GTX, which pursues not only portability but also high-dimensional usability and power.
