In the 2019 season, Ripple Fisher have refined and added various models to the Aquila series, which have already been popular for the boat casting game.
The Ripple Fisher Aquila EX 79-3 is a high-quality, Japanese hand-made travel fishing rod that is perfect for anglers on the go. It offers the convenience of easy transport for plane travel and the comfort of easily fitting into a car. Enjoy fishing anywhere with this durable and versatile rod.
In recent years, the Kingfish and Tuna games have become more subdivided. They have brushed up their line-up to focus on specific performance in various situations and challenged themselves to develop a blank never seen before.
In the new line-up, there are 9 models. Ripple Fisher have categorised them into four different series, ST, MLT, MST and EX. The ST series are the most standard models, which are well balanced and fine honed to cater for various situations and various targets.
The MLT series have a combination of a flexible tip section and a stiff butt section to go after massive fish with light line. The MST series are the already popular models to go after monstrous Kingfish with sheer power and strength. The EX models have newly been introduced to the series, which are 3 piece pack rods for anglers traveling around the world.
The new Aquila series are rods built to defy the boundaries of fishing. It was their quest to seek lifting power, easy handling of lures, outstanding castability and last but not least, the ability to parry the angry fish.

EX79-3
The EX79-3 was designed with its sights on targets like the Cubera snapper, Roosterfish from Latin America and other exotic species that inhabit the various Amazon ponds in Asia.
