Ripple Fisher Big Tuna 70 Japan Special Xmas - Once In A Blue Moon
Last year, the rod used to catch a 290kg super-large bluefin tuna in a single fight at Cape Tappi, the sacred ground for bluefin tuna, was the BIG TUNA 76 JAPAN SP, which caused a big shock as it was a record fish for bluefin tuna casting at the time.
In bluefin tuna casting, which is based on a standing fight, super-large bluefin tuna approaching 300kg are far larger and stronger than humans, and have endless stamina.
An encounter with a bluefin tuna that is an existence that easily surpasses human knowledge is truly an encounter with the unknown for an angler, and catching a super-large bluefin tuna with an angler's own hand is "once in a BLUE moon" - an extremely rare occurrence and is by no means easy.
When faced with the majestic nature of the distant world, human strength is very small, but perhaps it is the nature of anglers. Even against such a strong opponent, I will not be discouraged and will continue to challenge the unknown with my dreams. I hope that
one day it will become a "RED letter day" - a memorable day.
The world of bluefin tuna casting is currently in its heyday, and super-large bluefin tuna, which were previously thought to be impossible, are being caught one after another. Record sizes are being updated every year, and further records are expected to be broken in 2025.
While retaining the strength of the BIG TUNA 76 JAPAN SP to face super-large bluefin tuna, Ripple Fisher have added two designs with different tastes from the standard model. Each rod, "Once in a BLUE moon" and "RED letter day", will make your memorable, long-awaited catch even more gorgeous.
Once In A Blue Moon
This model has a blue base, and the blank is dyed in a calm smoky blue. The colour changes to a vibrant smoky blue towards the tip, and is finished with a matte top coat for a delicate and chic colour. Light grey pin thread is woven into the winding part of the guide, giving the whole thing a cool impression. This is a special model that was created with the aim of making "once in a BLUE moon - an extremely rare event" a reality.
The spacer in the grip section is engraved with a special BIG TUNA logo indicating that it is a BIG TUNA 76 JAPAN SP 2024 Special Edition, and comes with an aluminium gimbal as standard.
