Zenaq Fokeeto Ikari Rods

Zenaq has been hand making fishing rods in Japan since 1960, beginning with bamboo, then glass fiber and now carbon fibre. They are one of the few manufacturers left in Japan making rods fully in house from concept to completion. Their quality and attention to detail in construction is second to none. Pursuit of perfection is everywhere in Zenaq rods from the initial cutting on carbon sheets through to the final layer of epoxy on a finished rod.

Product Description

ZENAQ FOKEETO IKARI – Phenomenal Strength Meets Ultra-Finesse
Equipped with the revolutionary IKARI Blank (PAT. No. 7061787)

The FOKEETO IKARI represents a breakthrough in offshore jigging rod design, built around ZENAQ’s patented IKARI Blank—a cutting-edge super-elastic blank unlike anything else on the water.

Thin, lightweight, and ultra-responsive, IKARI rods deliver lightning-fast recovery and unmatched durability, even under punishing loads. Their unique construction allows you to fish a wide range of jig styles—from slow and short to long and fast—without needing to swap rods. One rod. Total versatility.

Thanks to the IKARI Blank’s extreme elastic limits, you can target serious fish with lighter setups, reducing fatigue without compromising power. The result is a rod that’s ultra-light, ultra-sensitive, and ultra-strong—designed to keep you locked in and in control from drop to hookset.

Less fatigue. Fewer missed hits. More fish.

The FS64-5.5 Ikari is designed for light line jigging PE 1.5-3, inshore and offshore. It suits short pitch/mechanical jigging action jigs to 210g and long fall/slow style to 280g.

Ideal target species are snapper, pearl perch, dhufish, coral trout, school size kings and amberjacks. The (W) guide model has been developed for anglers wanting to use a heavier class of leader. The double footed guides are larger, this giving bulky leader knots (60-100lb) a smoother flow through the rod. The (S) guide model has single foot guides at the tip for a more finesse approach, being a little more responsive whilst using lighter leaders. Both rods have identical blanks and grip sections, the only difference being the guides at the tip section.

Universal Jig Control
One rod. Every jigging style.

The ZENAQ FOKEETO IKARI delivers unmatched versatility across all jigging techniques—slow-pitch, high-pitch, short, or long jigs. Its high elasticity and fast recovery speed create sharper, more effective lure action with less effort.

The result is smoother jig control, greater coverage of the water column, and reduced fatigue over long sessions. By replacing the need for multiple rods, IKARI lets you stay sharp and ready for every strike.
It's the all-in-one jigging weapon serious anglers have been waiting for.

Confident High-Angle Fighting
Let the rod do the heavy lifting.

The ZENAQ FOKEETO IKARI features a carbon core blank that allows you to fight fish at higher rod angles—without the risk of failure common in traditional high-modulus graphite rods.

Rather than relying solely on the reel, you can engage the rod to pump and gain line efficiently, applying more pressure with less strain. The IKARI blank absorbs the bulk of the load, helping you land big fish faster while reducing fatigue on both you and your gear.

Protects Light Line Under Pressure
Confidence with thin leaders and modern PE.

Modern braided lines offer incredible sensitivity—but almost no stretch. In high-pressure fights, surges and headshakes can overload your line, even at modest drag settings.

Thanks to its carbon core construction, the ZENAQ FOKEETO IKARI lets you fight fish with the rod—not just the reel—acting as a shock absorber to cushion sudden force. This added forgiveness helps protect thinner mainlines and leaders, giving you the confidence to fish lighter and smarter without compromise.

Travel-Friendly Two-Piece Design
Built to move without compromise.

Each ZENAQ FOKEETO IKARI rod features a two-piece construction, with the blank separating just above the handle. Collapsing down to just 140 cm, it’s ideal for travelling anglers who want high performance without sacrificing portability.

Unlike traditional ferrule joins that can disrupt balance or power, IKARI’s carefully positioned connection enhances blank stiffness under the handle—boosting strength and improving power transfer during the fight. Easy to pack, ready to perform.

Less Fatigue, More Time on the Water
Fish harder, feel fresher.

The ZENAQ FOKEETO IKARI is designed to absorb more of the fight’s load—reducing strain on your body and letting you focus on the thrill of the battle. With exceptional balance and precise control, IKARI rods make it easier to work jigs effectively over longer sessions.

Stay sharp, fish longer, and enjoy every moment on the water.

Essential Rod Weight
Balanced for all-day performance and big-fish confidence.

In the race to build lighter rods, durability and true fish-fighting power are often sacrificed. With the ZENAQ FOKEETO IKARI, every gram serves a purpose. Carefully balanced with jigs, reels, lines, and target species in mind, IKARI rods offer the ideal weight for smooth, low-effort jigging—without compromising strength.

Jig all day in comfort, and lean in hard when it counts.
