About this piece
The Tenryu 22 Red Flip RF642B-L/VDN is a specialized tai rubber rod built for precise vertical presentations in deep water up to 100 meters. Its Magnaflex blank integrates low-modulus carbon in the tip with medium-modulus carbon through the belly and butt, creating a responsive yet forgiving action that prevents missed bites and lost fish in tough conditions. The rod is well-suited for vertical jigging with 45–120 g lures while also handling dotera drifting up to 180 g.
