Tenryu Injection SP 710 M Expert Minnow Spinning Rod

Product highlights

The Tenryu Injection SP 710 M Expert Minnow spinning rod is designed for demanding anglers targeting sea bass with minnow lures. Specifically tuned for animating models like the Tide Minnow, Vision Oneten or Hacker CM105SP, it delivers an ideal balance of sensitivity, comfort and power. Its semi-parabolic action significantly reduces the risk of hook-outs while providing an exhilarating fight, even on medium-sized fish.

Its length is optimised to fling lures long distances, allowing you to quickly cover large areas and locate active fish. This sea bass minnow rod also stands out for its remarkable progression: it loads easily on the cast, propels lures with precision and ensures constant control of the lure’s action.

The blank’s butt is reinforced with a ring and Nishinji braiding, offering a substantial power reserve. This reinforcement helps maintain control during fights near structure and to quickly extract a fish operating in rocky or cluttered areas, while keeping the necessary flex to avoid hook-outs.

Advantages and key strengths

The Injection SP 710 M Expert Minnow is aimed at anglers who want to get the most out of their minnow plugs. Its length lets you monitor and animate a minnow at distance while retaining perfect control of the line, which is essential to detect the subtlest bites and make successful hook sets.

Its semi-parabolic action is one of its main assets: it cushions violent head shakes from sea bass and works smoothly along the blank’s length. The fish therefore stays better hooked, which greatly reduces hook-outs, especially late in the fight when it reaches the surface or the foot of a jetty.

The power reserve provided by the ring and Nishinji braiding at the blank’s base brings a reassuring sense of security. It allows you to check a powerful fish, lift it off the bottom or free it from a cluttered zone while maintaining great progression. This combination of suppleness and power makes the Tenryu Injection SP 710 M Expert Minnow both technical, comfortable and highly reliable.

Usage tips

Sea bass fishing with minnow plugs using this rod performs best when alternating long casts with precise retrieves. Use it with minnows like the Tide Minnow, Vision Oneten or Hacker CM105SP, varying retrieve speeds: straight retrieve, stop-and-go or sharp pulls followed by pauses to trigger strikes.

Adjust line tension so the semi-parabolic action can work fully: keep the rod slightly raised, line taut and under control to absorb head shakes without ever completely slackening the line. On a bite, a firm but progressive hook set is usually sufficient, the rod loading to properly set the hooks.

In rocky or snaggy areas, don't hesitate to use the butt’s power reserve: maintain steady pressure and use the blank’s curvature to guide the fish to a safer zone. This rod is ideal for shore outings when you want to cover long stretches of coastline and make every minnow drift count.

FAQ

Question 1: Is this rod only suited to sea bass or can it target other predators?

Answer: Although optimised for sea bass fishing with minnow plugs, the Injection SP 710 M Expert Minnow can also suit other marine predators of similar size, provided they are targeted with minnows of comparable dimensions.

Question 2: Isn't a semi-parabolic action too soft to control a big fish near obstacles?

Answer: No — the rod pairs a soft tip with a strong power reserve in the blank’s base, reinforced by Nishinji braiding. It absorbs head shakes while offering the response needed to quickly extract a fish from a cluttered area.
