RIPPLE FISHER Ocean Voyager GTXpedition
When considering traveling limitations, the collapsed length has been set to 887mm for the two PE6 and PE8 class rods. These models are not only suitable for GT fishing in exotic locations but also trips targeting massive kingfish. By combining these rods with the Aquila EX models, anglers will have a wider range to choose from depending on the sea conditions, lure size and target size.
Model | Target | Length/Pack Length | Weight | Section | Lure | Line | Action | Lure Type |
GTX 81M | GT/Kingfish | 8'1"/887mm | 380g | 3 | MAX 140g | MAX Pe 6 | Regular | Stickbait・Small Cup Popper |
GTX 81MH | GT | 8'1"/887mm | 386g | 3 | MAX 180g | MAX Pe 8 | Regular | Stickbait・Small/Medium Cup Popper |
GTX81M more suitable for use with poppers. If you are more interested in the light GT game using diving pencils, you might want to consider the Aquila EX83-6.
The power of the GTX81MH and the Ultimo 83M seem to be similar in the illustration, but the GTX81MH is stiffer and sharper and once the rod is lifted higher, the GTX81MH is more powerful.
The characteristics of the GTX series can be summerized as having a sharp casting feel while smoothly bending in once the rod is loaded with the fish.
