Tenryu Namija 1080 H

Description

The Tenryu Namija 1080 H is the long-range specialist of the Namija family, built for the most demanding conditions: massive tides, deep harbour mouths, and fish holding further out than most rods can reach. Measuring 10'8", it is engineered for the "distance and drift" style of fishing popularised in the heavy-current harbours of the Netherlands and along rugged Atlantic coastlines. Despite its 20-60g rating and the power to bully double-figure bass out of a racing tide, the high-modulus Japanese carbon keeps it light in the hand for all-day sessions. - Length: 10'8" (3.25m) - Casting Weight: 20g – 60g - Sections: 2-Piece - Action: Very Fast / Extra Fast - Blank Material: High-Modulus Carbon (Trademark Tenryu Red) - Guides: Fuji Titanium K-Series with Reverse Tip Guide - Handle: Extended EVA Power Grip for Maximum Leverage - Transport Length: Approx. 167cm The 1080 H is designed for big-water applications where control at distance is the difference between a blank and a red-letter day. - Deep Harbour and Breakwater Drifting: Perfectly tailored for European-style shore fishing. The 10'8" length allows you to mend your line over surface cross-currents, letting a 40g-60g soft plastic swim naturally through the water column over vast distances. - Heavy Surf and Storm Bass: When the swell is high, the extra length keeps your line clear of the crashing white water, preventing your lure from being dragged out of the strike zone prematurely. - Metal Jigging for Pelagics: If you are targeting fast-moving species like large pollack, coalfish, or even bonito from the rocks, the 1080 H has the casting arc to launch metal jigs toward the horizon and the recovery speed to work them aggressively. - Big River Heavy Work: In freshwater, this is a formidable tool for the largest zander and pike in high-volume rivers. It provides the leverage needed to set heavy hooks in deep water and the power to stop a fish from reaching snag-ridden pilings. The standout feature of the 1080 H is the reverse titanium tip guide. By reversing the guide, Tenryu has virtually eliminated tip wrap during high-energy power casts, which is vital when you are throwing 60g lures with everything you've got. It is a rod of contradictions: it has the length of a surf rod, the weight of a lure rod, and the sensitivity of a finesse tool. When you need to dominate the environment rather than just fish it, the 1080 H is the ultimate choice. Because of the length and power of this blank, a 4000 or 5000 size reel is recommended to ensure the pivot point sits right at your hand. This balance makes the rod feel much shorter and more manoeuvrable than its 10'8" frame suggests.
