Canne Spinning TENRYU RAYZ SPECTRA RZS 652 S-LML

Product Highlights

The Tenryu Rayz Spectra RZS 652 S-LML is a trout rod for small and medium rivers designed for demanding anglers seeking precision, stealth and comfort throughout long fishing sessions. Its length and balance make it ideal for prospecting run-outs, pools and tight current seams where the best fish hold. Every detail is engineered to optimize your drifts and lure presentations with small hardbaits.

Developed to cast with great finesse minnows of 5 to 7 cm (4 to 6 g) and spoons up to 8 g, this rod delivers surgical accuracy on marked spots, even under overhanging vegetation or along cluttered banks. Its exceptional handling enables roll casts, pitches and short flicks that are perfectly controlled—essential when space is limited.

The RAYZ SPECTRA RZS 652 S-LML also stands out for its controlled progressive action, which protects the fish during the fight and reduces hook pulls while retaining the backbone needed to properly animate your hardbaits. You get a blank that is both sensitive for reading the current and strong enough to control a good brown or rainbow trout in heavy flow.

Benefits and Strengths

The main advantage of this Tenryu river trout rod lies in its ability to cast small lures with remarkable precision. In narrow, cluttered sectors, lure trajectory control is essential: the RZS 652 S-LML allows you to target a seam, rock or submerged snag to the centimeter while maintaining perfect line control.

The model’s superb handling makes quick direction changes, under-rod casts and discreet approaches behind obstacles or on wooded banks effortless. This ease of use is decisive when trout are educated and you must present the lure exactly in the flow axis and within a small strike window.

The Tenryu Rayz Spectra RZS 652 S-LML also offers very fine feedback on bites and structure. You clearly feel the swim of your minnow or the vibration of your spoon, allowing instant adjustments to retrieval speed or animation type. The subtlest takes are detected, even in cold water or when fish are particularly picky.

Finally, its progressive power reserve allows you to tire a good trout without shocking the fish or risking breakage, even with relatively light line diameters. This combination of sensitivity, softness and fight control makes the RZS 652 S-LML a premium trout rod built for passionate anglers.

Usage Tips

To exploit the full potential of this river trout spinning rod, pair it with a lightweight reel sized for fine fishing, spooled with fine braid or low-diameter monofilament. A discreet fluorocarbon leader will further improve presentation and stealth.

Use minnows of 5 to 7 cm weighing 4 to 6 g to cover current seams, banks and quiet zones downstream of obstacles. Complement this approach with spoons up to 8 g to target active trout in deeper or faster sectors.

Adopt varied animations: steady retrieves, light twitches, stop-and-go, considering water temperature and fish activity. The rod’s handling facilitates controlled three-quarter downstream or dead-downstream drifts, very effective on wary trout holding on the edge of the current.

In the field, stay discreet: approach quietly, limit false casts and use the precision of the RAYZ SPECTRA RZS 652 S-LML to place your lure correctly on the first cast into prime spots. This strategy significantly increases your chances of triggering a strike.

Answer: The RAYZ SPECTRA RZS 652 S-LML was designed for optimal use with minnows of 5 to 7 cm (4 to 6 g), but it also performs very well with spoons up to 8 g. Its sensitivity and handling allow effective animation of both lure types to target trout in small and medium rivers.
