The TENRYU Rayz Alter series is a newly launched lineup of trout rods for 2023, designed for area fishing, whether it's in calm lakes, ponds, or natural streams. This series inherits the principles of the Rayz series, focusing on providing a versatile experience for anglers who value both performance and style. With a variety of models, the Rayz Alter series is crafted to suit different fishing techniques, all while offering high sensitivity and superb rod control.
Rod Concept: Versatility for Every Environment
The Rayz Alter rods are created with the idea of providing freedom for area fishing. Whether you are fishing in still waters like lakes and ponds or navigating natural streams, this series offers the versatility to handle a wide range of trout fishing environments. The goal of the series is to enhance the thrill of engaging with each catch, ensuring that the angler can fully immerse themselves in the experience, with models that cater to individual fishing styles.
Features of the TENRYU Rayz Alter
Blanks
The Rayz Alter series features blanks that continue the legacy of the Rayz family, adopting a regular taper design. The rods are finished in a vibrant dark red color that gleams in the sunlight. The blanks have been optimized for specific uses, incorporating ultra-low elasticity carbon models, Magna Flex tubular tips, and carbon solid tips, depending on the rod’s purpose. These designs allow for greater sensitivity and precision, offering anglers the ability to feel every movement beneath the surface.
Guides
The series uses K-guides made of titanium frames and SiC (silicon carbide) rings. These guides are compatible with nylon, fluorocarbon, fine PE lines, and ester lines, providing anglers with flexibility in their line choice, while ensuring smooth and accurate line flow during casting and retrieval.
Grip
TENRYU integrates natural wood materials with Nishijin carbon weave to create a unique grip that is both functional and aesthetically striking. The distinct wood grain patterns and the intricate Nishijin weave offer a one-of-a-kind design. The grips also feature an original rubber cap at the end, providing anti-slip and protective properties. Due to the use of natural materials, each grip has a unique appearance, and over time, it may experience some wear depending on usage conditions.
Magna Flex Manufacturing Process
Each model in the Rayz Alter series uses the Magna Flex manufacturing process, which creates a highly responsive and flexible rod tip. This allows for increased sensitivity, making it easier to detect subtle movements and bites, even in low-activity environments.
Nishijin Carbon Weave Grip
The natural wood grip of each rod is paired with a Nishijin carbon weave, offering a premium aesthetic and functional design that is exclusive to TENRYU. The intricate weaving pattern enhances grip and control, providing a stylish yet practical solution for serious anglers.
K-Guides with Titanium Frame and SiC Rings
The Rayz Alter rods come equipped with high-quality K-guides, made from lightweight titanium with SiC rings, which reduce friction and allow for smoother line management. This setup is designed to handle a variety of line types, ensuring the rod performs well in diverse fishing scenarios.
Conclusion
The TENRYU Rayz Alter series represents the next step in trout rod innovation, offering a blend of style, performance, and advanced technology. Designed for anglers who demand versatility and sensitivity, the Rayz Alter series caters to a wide range of fishing environments, from calm lakes to fast-moving streams. With its high-quality construction, unique design features, and cutting-edge technology, the Rayz Alter series is an excellent choice for any trout angler looking to elevate their fishing experience.
