BIG TUNA 76 JAPAN SP standard Model features

This model is for anglers with their sights on Bluefin tuna weighing over 200kg. Similar to the 73, this 76 is capable of not only casting large lures mostly used when the targets are feeding on dolphin fish (mahi-mahi), but also allows anglers to cast and control the lighter (60g) sinking pencils for smaller baits. The difference from the 73 will be the contrasting fight style. While possessing strong butt power to constantly apply pressure on the fish, we have drastically reduced the load on the angler by bringing the bending point closer to the angler, allowing for a prolonged fight.

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.
