Tenryu Fast Finesse 710 ML 2ES

Description

The Tenryu Fast Finesse 710ML 2ES is a finesse rod built for clear water and pressured fish, where detecting every vibration matters. At 7'10", it offers more reach than typical short finesse rods, giving better line control and casting distance while keeping a light, precise feel. Measuring 2.39m (7'10") with a 3-18g casting range, it works as a lightweight all-rounder for technical freshwater angling. The 2ES (Equal Sections) construction breaks down into two balanced pieces for easy transport. Tenryu's graphite blank and cork grip make the rod a sensitive tool for reading what is happening beneath the surface. The fast action recovers quickly after a cast or twitch, keeping you in contact with your lure. It suits working a 4g jig head through a deep pool or flicking a small jerkbait for perch and trout. The extra length over a standard 7ft finesse rod helps you mend line and reach distant fish. - Model: Tenryu Fast Finesse 710ML 2ES - Length: 2.39m / 7' 10" - Casting Weight: 3 - 18g - Sections: 2 (Equal Length) - Action: Fast Action - Blank Material: High-Grade Japanese Graphite - Guides: Fuji Alconite (Anti-Tangle) - Handle: Ergonomic High-Quality Cork - Target Species: Trout, Perch, Bass, Zander/Walleye Where it works well: - River Trout and Grayling: The 7'10" length manages line drag across different currents for a more natural drift with small spinners or soft plastics. - Canal and Urban Dropshotting: The sensitive tip works 5g-10g dropshot rigs with precision, feeling every pebble and subtle take from a perch. - Light Reservoir Luring: Suited to launching small minnows or metal spoons for trout or bass when you need extra distance to reach the drop-off. - Fine Zander and Walleye Fishing: The fast action provides the snap to set light-wire hooks into hard jaws even at the end of a long cast. A light touch rewards the 710ML. A high-quality 0.4 to 0.6 PE braid paired with a long fluorocarbon leader lets the Fuji Alconite guides perform at their best and keeps the rod's balance. Because of the high-grade graphite, a quick flick of the wrist is enough to set the hook, as the fast action carries power instantly to the tip. Cork is used over EVA because many finesse anglers find it transmits high-frequency vibrations, such as a trout plucking at a tail, better than synthetic foams, and it provides a secure grip when hands are wet or cold. The 7'10" length is a bit long for tight, overgrown brooks, but it is a major asset on medium to large rivers, keeping more line off the water to reduce drag and give a more lifelike lure presentation. The 3-18g rating handles lures at the lower end well; Tenryu's graphite quality lets even a 3g lure load the tip enough for an accurate cast, feeling like a responsive spring tuned for lightweight accuracy rather than a stiff rod. While designed as a freshwater finesse rod, the Fuji components can handle salt water, though for light rock fishing a thorough freshwater rinse after every session is recommended to protect the cork and the graphite's finish.
