Zenaq Glanz Baitcast Rods

Exceptional Casting Ease for Oversized LuresDeliver astonishing distance, effortlessly.

In the world of the Gigantic Game, launching 100g, 400g, or even 1000g-class lures isn’t the exception — it’s the expectation. TheZENAQ GLANZseries is purpose-built for this task, featuring a finely tuned blank that’s both supple and muscular. It loads deep during the takeback, then unleashes explosive energy for long, accurate casts with minimal effort.

By distributing the load across the entire rod, GLANZ reduces fatigue on your wrist and thumb — even after a full day of casting. The result? You stay sharper, cast after cast, right through to the last light.

Precision Control with Heavyweight SwimbaitsA level of technical finesse never before possible.

TheZENAQ GLANZseries pairs rod flexibility with lightning-fast recovery to bring giant lures to life. Its highly responsive blank harnesses the water resistance of oversized swimbaits and glide baits, turning it into crisp, controlled, and realistic action beneath the surface.

From subtle sweeps to aggressive twitches, every input from the angler is transmitted with precision. Whether you're working big glide baits, stickbaits, or anything in between, GLANZ delivers exceptional command and feedback—no matter the weight on the end of your line.

Secure Hooksets & Confident Fight ControlNever miss that one chance.

It’s a common misconception that only stiff rods can handle heavy swimbaits—but too much rigidity can cost you the fish of a lifetime. TheZENAQ GLANZchallenges that thinking, delivering unmatched hook-up performance through its finely balanced, firm-yet-flexible blank.

This intelligent design reduces missed bites and dropped fish, providing positive hooksets without sacrificing sensitivity. From the moment of impact to the final moments of the fight, GLANZ absorbs and manages the combined weight of the lure and the fish, giving you total control and the confidence to see it through.

Guide Systems Tuned to Your LineEliminating line trouble before it ever happens.

When casting heavy lures, sudden air resistance can cause rapid deceleration—leading to tip wraps, backlashes, and costly line issues. TheZENAQ GLANZseries is engineered to eliminate these problems at the source.

Each model features a precisely tuned guide system—whether it’s a PE-specific setup or a dual PE/mono configuration—optimised for the demands of big bait casting. Every rod also includes ZENAQ’s proprietary assist guide, ensuring smooth, tangle-free performance so you can stay focused on the strike, not the setup.

Ultra-Dense EVA GripFeel the difference from the first touch.

When launching heavy lures with full power, a soft or spongy grip can sap valuable energy and dull your connection to the rod. TheZENAQ GLANZseries solves this with an ultra-dense EVA grip positioned directly beneath the reel seat.

This firm, high-compression material maximises energy transfer during casting, enhances precision during lure control, and gives you solid leverage during the fight. It’s a small detail that makes a massive difference—from the first cast to the final lift.

Leash Cord–Ready Metal SleeveA trusted detail for uncompromised casting confidence.

Launching a full-power cast with a heavyweight swimbait demands absolute commitment—but what if a sudden backlash strikes mid-swing? The violent recoil of a loaded blank can tear the rod from your hands in an instant. Even the thought of that risk can cause hesitation, holding back your cast when it matters most.

That’s why everyZENAQ GLANZrod features a purpose-built metal sleeve at the butt end—engineered for secure leash cord attachment. This simple yet essential feature gives you the confidence to cast without compromise, knowing your rod is protected, even if things go sideways.

Bold casting. Backed by smart design.

High-Rigidity Grip End StructureStability and precision in every swing.

EveryZENAQ GLANZmodel is fitted with a custom-engineered grip end and balancer ring—designed to optimise rod balance and eliminate unwanted torsion during heavy casting. This thoughtful construction enhances casting accuracy, reduces fatigue, and improves overall control.

Two grip end options are tailored to match specific rod actions and lure classes:

• High Cork End(GB73-X5 / GB67-X10 / GB84-X10): Lightweight and ultra-responsive.

• High-Strength Rubber End(GB80-X20 / GB78-X78): Built tough for maximum durability and control when throwing the heaviest lures with full force.

Every cast feels solid. Every swing, stable.
