In a world filled with subcontractors, rebranders, trading and marketing companies, its refreshing to deal with a true manufacturer.  A maker that not only builds 100% of the rods in house but also builds their own epoxy curing ovens as nothing on the market was adequate.   A true 100% Japanese rod from a maker in Japan that works extremely closely with the world leader in Carbon Fiber materials and that is of course Toray.  

Yamaga and Ripplefisher is the apex of the industry.  They are the largest and most stable maker in Japan with a 40 year history of growth, innovation and success.

They are the brand others seek to beat and unfortunately some have resorted to copying.  However China or Korea can never ever match the Japanese factory's quality, innovation or know how.

Speciality fibers including the current Toray NanoAlloy (tm) material was especially developed with involvement from Ripplefisher.  NanoAlloy Carbon Fiber is a unique material with high tenacity and stability which are desirable in all blanks.  Combined with their unique QUAD MATT QUAD Axis construction ~ you get a rod that all the desired traits:

Castability

Controllability

Power

Comfort

With these rods even those getting on in the years will cast farther, with less effort.  You will be ready to go head to head with monster Bluefin, Yellowfin, Dogtooth and GTs without your back taking all the stress and strain.
