The Ripple Fisher Aquila series is one of the most refined and specialised offshore casting rod ranges available, developed specifically for anglers chasing large pelagic species across a wide variety of offshore fishing scenarios. Through continuous refinement and real-world testing, the Aquila lineup has evolved into a highly technical series built around performance, balance and fighting strength.

As offshore fishing techniques have become increasingly specialised, Ripple Fisher expanded the Aquila range into four dedicated series — ST, MLT, MST and EX — each designed to excel in specific situations and applications. Rather than producing generic power rods, Ripple Fisher focused on creating rods with true strength, refined balance and controlled lifting power.

The Aquila ST series forms the foundation of the range, delivering the essential characteristics required for modern casting games at a very high level. These rods combine long casting performance, precise lure maneuverability, strong hook-setting ability and controlled fish-fighting power. Under load, the blank progressively transfers pressure toward the angler, allowing the butt section to maintain control and keep the advantage during the fight.

The Aquila MLT series was developed for highly technical situations where fish are feeding on extremely small baitfish or are sensitive to boat pressure. These rods combine light lure casting performance with the lifting power needed to handle large pelagic species on lighter PE line classes. By balancing a flexible tip section with a powerful butt section, the MLT models allow anglers to fish finesse-style presentations without sacrificing fighting strength.

The Aquila MST series is purpose-built for anglers targeting monstrous kingfish and other hard-fighting species using heavy PE7–8 setups and larger lures. These rods are designed to apply serious pressure while still maintaining a progressive bending curve under load. Rather than relying on brute stiffness alone, the rods transfer load smoothly through the blank, allowing anglers to utilise body positioning and leverage more effectively during prolonged fights.

The Aquila EX series expands the range into expedition and travel fishing. Designed as premium three-piece pack rods, the EX models provide outstanding portability without compromising performance. Built for anglers travelling domestically or internationally in search of trophy fish, they retain the sharp casting feel, lifting power and fish-fighting capability expected from a high-end offshore rod.

Across the entire lineup, the Aquila range delivers exceptional casting distance, precise lure handling and serious fish-fighting performance. Every model is engineered with Ripple Fisher’s premium Japanese craftsmanship and advanced carbon technology to provide anglers with the strength, balance and confidence needed when targeting powerful pelagic species.
