The Ripple Fisher OceanRidge GT Rod Series is purpose-built for experienced anglers targeting Giant Trevally (GT) with heavy topwater lures, large diving stickbaits and oversized poppers.
Designed with Ripple Fisher’s distinctive performance characteristics, the OceanRidge range places a strong emphasis on manual lure control, sensitivity and extreme fighting power. These are specialist GT rods developed for skilled anglers who want direct control over both lure presentation and the fight.
Built for demanding offshore conditions, strong current and rugged terrain, the OceanRidge series combines powerful blanks, premium Fuji components and serious lifting strength for encounters with trophy-class GT.
Ripple Fisher OceanRidge FINAL SPIRIT GT78
The OceanRidge FINAL SPIRIT GT78 is the most powerful GT rod developed by Ripple Fisher, designed specifically for extreme situations and oversized lures.
Its stiff tip and belly sections make it highly effective for short, aggressive popping with large-mouth poppers and controlling large pencil-style lures around the 300mm class. When heavily loaded during the fight, the highly responsive blank generates substantial repulsive force to help lift large fish away from structure.
The GT78 is designed for situations where maximum power is required rather than all-day casting comfort. It is particularly suited to strong currents, rugged reef systems and targeting exceptionally large GT feeding on oversized bait.
