25 years ago in 1998 the Team at Zenaq introduced the Monster Buster, specifically designed to catch monster tuna. Since then, the passion has driven the team at Zenaq to continually develop rods for big game fishing. Advancements in tackle, including lines and hooks, have made tunas over 200kg a feasible target. Yet, The Zenaq team aspired to create a rod capable of going head-to-head with these giants in the casting game. This ambition led to the inception of Project Monster Buster.

Tobizo TC77 Tuna – Monster Buster –
Length: 7′ 7″ / Lure max: 230g / Line max: No Limit
The key feature Zenaq prioritized in developing this rod was its ability to lift a 200kg fish while being bent at a deep straight up and down angle. If the rod blank is overly rigid, it becomes too challenging for anglers to endure the fierce struggle of a monster. Additionally, such a stiff rod blank wouldn’t allow casting a 100g lure. On the other hand, a rod blank that’s too flexible wouldn’t just fail to lift a 200kg monster but would also easily break under the heavy load. How do Zenaq resolve these conflicting requirements? How can they design a rod capable of casting a 100g lure far and still enable an average-sized angler to battle a 200kg monster tuna? This was the greatest challenge of Project Monster Buster.
Zenaq’s journey towards creating the perfect rod blank involved relentless cycles of design, bench testing, and field testing, and was finally completed after four seasons starting in 2019.
The result is the innovative rod blank that is the backbone of the Tobizo TC77 TUNA – Monster Buster.
What is DBL Structure (Deep Bias Layered Construction) – PAT.P The process of making rod blanks involves various factors such as the carbon material’s elasticity, thickness, amount of resin, fiber angle, and taper design of the mandrel (mold). The possibilities for making rod blanks are endless.
Among this infinite array of combinations, we search for the optimal material and layer it deeply, finding the perfect orientation of fibers, and stacking them.
Our chosen method of designing the rod blank is a world apart from rods designed for finesse and lightness. It’s akin to crafting the physique of a well-trained heavyweight athlete.
This manufacturing process allowed us to precisely design the necessary torque and power, fulfilling the requirements for recoil, durability, and flexibility needed for our monster blank.
In developing the Monster Rod, not only was high-level rod making technology crucial, but also the patience to find the optimal combination among an infinite array of complex carbon materials.
This remarkable achievement highlighted the exceptional performance of our monster blank, crafted for the challenging task of bending under huge pressure and lifting such massive monster tuna.
