With a comfortable casting range up to 180g, it’s perfect for large stickbaits and poppers, especially when working structure or shallow reef edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"557\" data-end=\"942\"\u003eThis model is ideal for anglers who want serious backbone without the bulk of a heavy GT rod. The blank loads progressively under pressure, making it more forgiving and easier to control during long fights — especially for anglers with smaller builds or those fishing all day. Despite its moderate length, it delivers explosive power when needed and even holds its own in GT territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"1120\"\u003eIf you’re looking for a rod that bridges the gap between finesse and force — something that can throw big lures, soak pressure, and beat monster kingfish in close — this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1125\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1638\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1127\" data-end=\"1137\"\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1137\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1142\" data-end=\"1153\"\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7’11” (2410mm)\u003cbr data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1171\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1191\"\u003eClosed Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1752mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1198\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1214\"\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 369g\u003cbr data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1222\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1235\"\u003ePieces:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 (Grip Joint)\u003cbr data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1253\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1255\" data-end=\"1281\"\u003eLure Rating (Comfort):\u003c\/strong\u003e 80–180g\u003cbr data-start=\"1289\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1310\"\u003eLine Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Max PE 8\u003cbr data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1337\"\u003eDrag Max:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16kg @ 45°\u003cbr data-start=\"1348\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1364\"\u003eAction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular\u003cbr data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1377\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003eTip Dia:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0mm\u003cbr data-start=\"1395\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1413\"\u003eButt Dia:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.7mm (840mm from butt)\u003cbr data-start=\"1438\" data-end=\"1441\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1457\"\u003eReel Seat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fuji DPS20 (Up Lock)\u003cbr data-start=\"1478\" data-end=\"1481\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1483\" data-end=\"1500\"\u003eGuide System:\u003c\/strong\u003e SiC-S Titanium K Guide + Super Ocean Guide (Fuji)\u003cbr data-start=\"1550\" data-end=\"1553\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1568\"\u003eGrip End:\u003c\/strong\u003e BRC\u003cbr data-start=\"1572\" data-end=\"1575\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"1594\"\u003eReel Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shimano\/Daiwa 14000–18000 \/ Daiwa 5500–6500\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1643\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1949\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1645\" data-end=\"1665\"\u003eRecommended for:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1670\" data-end=\"1689\"\u003eTarget Species:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kingfish, yellowfin tuna, GT\u003cbr data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1721\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1737\"\u003eIdeal Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Inshore or island-based fishing with large stickbaits and poppers\u003cbr data-start=\"1803\" data-end=\"1806\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"1808\" data-end=\"1824\"\u003eAngler Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suited to a wide range of anglers, including those after a slightly more forgiving and user-friendly blank than full GT rods\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1951\" data-end=\"1954\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1956\" data-end=\"2062\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1956\" data-end=\"2062\" data-is-last-node=\"\"\u003ePowerful, versatile, and easy to fish — the MST 711-8+ is a serious tool for serious kingfish hunters.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ripple Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46780984262708,"sku":"RF-AMST711-8+","price":924.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/5602\/9492\/files\/Aquila-MST711-8.png?v=1750127208","url":"https:\/\/monsterfishing.com.au\/products\/ripple-fisher-aquila-mst-711-8","provider":"Monster Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
