The Ultimo Series are the core of Ripple Fisher’s GT rods.
The series are able to handle a variety of lures from pencil type to popping type lures while having a light, yet very responsive blank for anglers to cast throughout the day.
Although the rod may seem simple with its easy castability and controllability, the butt power is outstanding and we have set an ideal loading point for anglers to be able to maintain their balance with a heavy load.
In addition, we re-examined our lineup and made some adjustments to the labeling of the power class, blank adjustment and added a few new models. These adjustments are not to renounce the previous models or settings but to keep up with the ever changing and evolving GT fishing scene, not only as a single model but as a series.
The Ultimo series are a fusion of modern GT fishing combined with Ripple Fisher’s long experience in rod building.
Ultimo 711ML
This is a lighter model ideal for anglers with a smaller build and female anglers who have never experienced our Ultimo series. It is also ideal for anglers targeting large Kingfish and Tuna’s up to 50kg with the use of lures around 100g. The blanks for the 2017 model have been renewed by improving the sharpness, lightness and overall controllability of the rod. Anglers will be able to cast throughout the day stress free and apply high pressure on the fish with little effort during the fight.

Ultimo 83ML
This rod is ideal for targeting not only GTs, but also monstrous Kingfish and Tuna up to 50kg from the bow of medium to large size charter boats. It is a well balanced rod with great casting distance, controllability and lightness. Even beginners and less masculine anglers will be able to cast a mile with lures exceeding 150g by loading up the rod and using its repulsive force. The unique characteristics of the ML class rods use the bend of the whole rod when casting and fighting of the fish. Therefore, it is not suited for the application of the new Nanoalloy technology. Furthermore, the 83ML is the most flexible rod in the Ultimo series and can be classed as a rod between the BIG TUNA series and the Ultimo. Anglers will require the least amount of strength when fighting the fish, as the rod exceeds its line class potential.

Ultimo 79M Nano
The 79M Nano is a powerful and maneuverable short length rod which is a newly added model for the 2017 season. With its short length, it is ideal for anglers who prefer to fish from the stern or middle section of small, medium and large charter boats using the bend of the blank to your advantage. It's a perfect rod for experienced smaller built or female anglers. Although the butt section is a M class rod, the tip section is stiffer allowing anglers to have better command of their casting and control of their lures.

Ultimo 80MH Nano
This newly added 80MH is an almighty model with a combination of long length and power. It is a versatile rod able to utilize in any given boat or field with the use of pencil type lures to medium mouth poppers. However, with the somewhat stronger rod settings, the angler needs to be well built or strong. With strength and experience, this rod will respond to the anglers powerful lifting and fight giving you that advantage required for monstrous fish. It is a best matched rod for the GT game which require long casting in shallow waters where anglers are required to take initiative.

This rod will become your next best friend for those anglers who prefer or require a speedy/powerful fight in rough underwater terrain.
