Tenryu Rayz

Rayz carries forward the philosophy of the original Rayz as TENRYU's standard Japanese trout rod — refined for light, responsive handling, ease of use regardless of skill level, and a balance that lets anglers enjoy the back-and-forth with their target. It blends contemporary elements with the action traditionally considered ideal for trout fishing.

Blanks follow a "slim, lightweight, firm regular-taper action" philosophy, with specs optimized by use and finished in a dark green that glows in the light. Guides are titanium-frame K-guides with SiC-S rings (LRV guides on baitcasting models), with smaller-diameter guides for a closer feel to the blank and smooth release of both monofilament and PE line. Grips combine natural wood with Nishijin-weave carbon pipe, finished with an original rubber end cap; wood grain varies piece to piece as a natural material.

This listing stocks 11 models from the Rayz spinning and baitcasting range: RZ4102S-UL, RZ542S-L, RZ632S-L, RZ6102S-LML, RZ772S-ML, RZ912S-H, RZ842S-MMH, RZ4102B-UL, RZ542B-L, RZ712B-MLM and RZ842B-MMH.
