OceanRidge is Ripple Fisher's dedicated GT casting series, a demanding lineup built around manual feel that rewards a committed angler's technique rather than forgiving mistakes. All models use Toray Nanoalloy blanks and Fuji Super Ocean Guides. Reversal GT 80 is the most accessible entry, an 8-foot blank drawing a clean bend curve that works pencils and poppers to 170 g and suits anglers from around 60 to 65 kg. LongCast GT 82 stretches distance for headwind and long-cast situations, throwing to 190 g on PE 8. PowerFight GT 711 (formerly F-STICK GT 711 PowerFight) prioritizes stiffness and sensitivity for high-difficulty fields, with a butt able to lift 50 kg-class GT. The 2021 flagship Final Spirit GT 78 is the brand's strongest GT rod yet, rebalanced from the earlier GT79/80 to handle the largest-cup poppers and 300 mm pencils and rated to MAX PE 12 with a 17 kg drag. Recommended angler weights climb from 65 kg to 80 kg across the series. All are 2-piece grip-joint spinning rods.
