Tenryu 23 Rayz Integral Series: A Comprehensive Overview
The Tenryu 23 Rayz Integral series offers a versatile range of packable rods designed for trout fishing enthusiasts. Whether you're a minimalist angler focusing on headwaters fishing or a seasoned backpacker seeking the ideal rod for expedition fishing, the Rayz Integral series delivers portability, functionality, and the excellent performance of Tenryu's renowned Rayz rods.
Rod Concept: Packable Yet Powerful
The Rayz Integral series incorporates the core design philosophy of the original Rayz rods—slim, lightweight, and taut—while optimizing the specifications for various fishing environments. These rods are crafted to meet the needs of anglers who venture deep into nature, allowing for easy transportation without sacrificing performance. Whether you're navigating dense brush or hiking to remote fishing locations, the compact size and packability of these rods make them an essential tool for trout fishing.
Features and Models
The Rayz Integral series offers a range of models, each meticulously designed for specific fishing conditions:
-
Short Models: These are built for headwaters fishing, featuring ultra-low modulus carbon in the tip section to provide flexible action. With a closed length of 39 cm and a total length of 4’8”, these models are perfect for compact casting in tight spaces.
-
Long Models: Ideal for expedition fishing, these rods use medium modulus carbon, ensuring versatility and long castability. With lengths up to 8'4” and a collapsed dimension under 60 cm, they offer easy portability while targeting larger trout in bigger rivers and lakes.
Blanks: Strength and Flexibility
The Rayz Integral rods feature blanks painted in a striking dark blue that shines beautifully in the light. The series maintains the signature Rayz characteristics of being slim, lightweight, and powerful, providing excellent balance and responsiveness in various fishing environments. The short models are designed for precise and delicate presentations, while the long models offer the strength needed for long-distance casting and handling larger trout species.
Guides: High-End Durability
Tenryu equips the Rayz Integral series with K-guides featuring a stainless steel frame and SiC rings, which ensure smooth line release and durability. The height of the guide feet is optimized for toughness, providing excellent performance with both monofilament and PE lines. These high-quality guides contribute to the overall strength and smooth action of the rod.
Grip: A Fusion of Natural and Modern Elements
The grip of the Rayz Integral rods is a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern materials. Tenryu uses a combination of natural wood and Nishijin textile carbon pipe, resulting in a unique design that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. Each piece of wood grain is one-of-a-kind, adding an individual touch to each rod. Additionally, the grip end is equipped with an original rubber cap to prevent slipping and scratching, enhancing the rod's durability.
Design: Attention to Detail
Tenryu ensures every detail of the Rayz Integral rods is finely tuned. The rods feature a joint mark between sections #3 and #4 in the longer models (RZI755S-ML and RZI845S-MH) for easy assembly. This attention to detail not only enhances usability but also ensures a smooth and seamless experience when setting up the rod.
Versatility and Portability
What sets the Rayz Integral series apart is its combination of packability and top-tier performance. These rods are not simply convenient—they are built to be the primary tool for serious trout fishing. The short models are perfect for small, confined streams where precise casting is essential, while the long models are designed for larger bodies of water, making them suitable for expedition-style fishing trips.
Conclusion
The Tenryu 23 Rayz Integral series is the ideal solution for anglers who demand both portability and high performance from their gear. Whether you're looking for a rod that can handle the delicate action needed in headwaters fishing or a long-casting powerhouse for big river expeditions, the Rayz Integral series has a model to fit your needs. With high-end materials, exceptional craftsmanship, and a focus on both form and function, this series represents the pinnacle of portable trout rods. For those seeking a versatile, mobile, and reliable rod for their next adventure, the Tenryu Rayz Integral series stands as a top choice.
