The rod design has been updated since 2024, when the 86, 710RT and 70 were added to the BIG-TUNA series.

In recent years, there have been super-size tuna in the Japan sea and the style of fishing has evolved to utilize super strong line exceeding PE14 specifications with straight pumping. The BIG-TUNA 70 is our answer to such situations to eliminate all limitations we have previously placed upon ourselves.
The 710RT and 86 are “retuned” models of the previously released 710 and 85. It has been a decade since the foundation of the BIG TUNA models of 710 and 85 were released into the world. We have upgraded and optimized these models to cater for the ever-changing needs and environment around us.
We did not simply make it more bendy nor make it cast farther than before. Rather, through the combination of various different materials of carbon sheets and unique taper design with underlying butt power, we were able to realize a rod capable of enduring extreme load while the repulsive force lifting the fish from the deep.
We hope you can first handedly experience the new lineup of the BIG TUNA series in 2024.

BIG TUNA 710RT JAPAN Special  / HEAVY CLASS

BIG TUNA 710RT JAPAN Special

Compared to the characteristics of the original model, we have re-designed the model to suit the current tuna scene. Since we have designed the taper of the blank to be most productive in the butt section, anglers will be able to efficiently and effectively utilize the butt power to lift the tuna. It’s not simply a more flexible model compared to its predecessor, but a highly well-balanced heavy class model able to effortlessly stimulate bites from casting top water lures while having the power to go head to head with the biggest of fish.
This will be your ideal model if you are in situations where you need to cast lures all day long.

BIG TUNA Comparison

Here are the bending curves of the different models in the BIG TUNA series with a static weight and differing anglers. It will give you an understanding of the bending point and how much power is left in the butt section.
*the picture may not illustrate the actual power of the rod due to the differing rod length and angle.

The 85F and 87AS are more flexible able to cast small lures and designed for a more mellow fight with the fish, whereas the 83 and 86 are a more aggressive rod with the bending point towards the tip to efficiently lift and fight the fish. Compared with the same middle-class rods of 87AS, the 83 is a one rank stronger rod.

The illustration shows the comparison of the 2 heavy class rods. Both rods have a similar taper design but the difference lies in the length. By utilizing the length of the 86 blank, anglers will be able to cast farther than other shorter rods while the shorter 710RT is a model able to load the blank with the weight of the fish with ease.

The picture illustrates the comparison of the 3 power class models. When looking at the comparison with a 45 degree angle, the 73 and 76 look similar, however, the bending point of the 76 is closer to the angler, reducing the stress on the angler, while the 73 is further away enabling a more speedy fight against the fish. The newly added 70 has the strongest butt power with the bending point being close to the angler, drastically reducing the load on the angler. The three models are the same power class, yet having totally different characteristics. *when choosing a tuna rod, please be sure to choose the most suited rod depending on your height, weight, strength and experience.

静荷重比較

In the BIG-TUNA series, the power category is set to make the rod characteristics easier to understand.
For example, among the 86, 710RT, 73, 76, and 70 that have the same line max value, the 73, 76, and 70 are designed to increase the breaking strength in order to target the extra-large class. The 86 and 710RT come in different power categories and can be used in situations where a distant throw is required, such as a lure, or in situations where a finer lure is required.
The 85 F, 87AS, and 83 are models that can also be used to target yellowfin tuna, and are generally considered to be 85 F for tuna sizes under 50 kg, or 87AS and 83 for tuna sizes under 80 kg.
Please consider the lure size, line, size of tuna, and required lure appeal when selecting a model.
The rod design of the BIG-TUNA series is color-coded with thread colors that match the power class below. Also, the model name is engraved on the spacer on the reel sheet of the grip.
