The OceanRidge series are GT rods especially designed with Ripple Fishers brand characteristics. The lineup built up for the needs of the expert anglers require manual maneuvering and will bring out the true skills in anglers. These are not your ordinary lineup and will not suit all anglers. But rest assure that these rods will feel like a part of your body once anglers have established their style and skill.
In 2021, we have brushed up and gone back to the drawing board to renew the most powerful rods of the FINAL SPIRIT GT 79 and 80 to release the new GT78. The GT game is becoming tougher and tougher each year and sometimes require the use of supersize lures to induce a bite. The new GT78 is not simply an over powered rod but will become your biggest asset in specific situations and against monstrous GTs.

OceanRidge LongCast GT 82 Nano

For those who want to cast farther than any other angler on the boat. This is an ideal rod for use when long casting is required or casting against head winds. It is suited for use with poppers and diving pencil type lures. The Nano material has not only increased its controllability but anglers will also be able to sense the slightest changes in current movement through the blank, line and lure while efficiently and effectively surface the GT. Although it is a long casting model, you will be pleasantly surprised with its lightness and controllability.

OceanRidge Comparison Load 6kg

The picture illustrates the differences in the bending curve of the OceanRidge series with a static load of 6kg. For reference, we have also included in the illustration the Ultimo80MH. The rods are displayed in different colors depending on model. The new model in 2021 FS78 is displayed in red. When looking at the bending curve of the FS78 and LC82, it looks similar but the feel of the rod is totally different. The LC82 is designed to hook up and fight GT from a distance. The bending point is set far from the body thus will feel stiff when fighting GT in close range. In contrast, the FS78 bending point is set closer to the butt section allowing for a more powerful and responsive fight against GTs in close range.
