Zenaq Tobizo TC 84-100G Type R

The TC 84-100G Type R has a nice springy tip makes it perfect for working stickbaits up to around 120g with a max cast weight of 150g yet It still possesses enough stiffness in the mid section to work poppers to around 90-100g. The bottom end of this rod is extremely powerful, stopping fish in their tracks. This power in the butt also gives it the ability to lift stubborn beast of the bottom without putting too much strain on the angler. The Tobizo TC84-100G has been designed specifically for chasing big tuna (around the 20 - 50kg mark) and large kingfish but is also great for species like GT and Spanish mackerel as well as extracting giant reef fish from the coral flats. The TC84-100G Type R will best suit either a Shimano 14000 or Daiwa 14000 size reel body.

Zenaq Tobizo TC 86-110G Type R

The extra length of the Tobizo 86-110G Type R gives it incredible casting distance when throwing lures from 70g up to a max of 120g. The elasticity of the tip makes long battles with big fish easy on the angler but also has surprising power in the bottom end, giving it the ability to turn stubborn beasts when needed. The Tobizo TC86-110G has been designed specifically for chasing kingfish and tuna but is also great for species like Spanish mackerel and small GT. The TC86-110 Type R will best suit either a Shimano 14000 or Daiwa 14000 size reel body.

Zenaq Tobizo TC 83-150 Type R

The Tobizo 83-150 Type R is the perfect all-rounder rod for chasing GT as well as tuna and many other large pelagic species. It covers a casting range of 90-170g which takes in many of the most popular lures for GT fishing. We find the rod is great for stickbaits across the full cast weight range and large cup face poppers up to around 140g. The tip has some initial flex to work the stickbaits, then it steadily ramps up through the mid-section to help pull poppers through the water. From the first guide through to the butt, the rod possesses excellent lifting power and is able to stretch PE8 to the limit. The 83-150 is ideal as an all day rod for GT fishing as it has the power land large fish, but is still light enough in the hand for long casting sessions.

The TC80-200G Type R for a heavy GT casting rod still has a nice cushiony tip excellent for casting big lures all day. It'll work stickbaits and poppers with ease up to 200g with a max cast weight of 230g. The bottom end of this rod is extremely powerful, stopping fish in their tracks. This power in the butt also gives it the ability to lift stubborn beasts of the bottom without putting too much strain on the angler. The Tobizo TC80-200G has been designed specifically for chasing XOS GT but is also great for species like large tuna, giant kingfish and Spanish mackerel when they're eating bigger baits. The TC80-200G Type R will best suit either a Shimano 18000 or Daiwa 18000 size reel body

Feature.01 Hexagon Reel Seat

Advantage.01

ZENAQ’s original Hexagon Reel Seat (PAT.P) is built from TORAYCA® high-strength carbon, molded for maximum rigidity and stability. Its innovative shape locks reels securely in place, eliminating wobble and delivering absolute confidence when battling powerful fish.

Hexagon Reel Seat - Advantage.02

A special rubber coating on the reel seat framework delivers a unique sense of comfort. It reduces fatigue, making rod work effortless and precise—no excess force required.

Hexagon Reel Seat - Advantage.03

Like the hexagon grip, the reel seat is also hexagon shaped to suppress left and right reel rattling, and transmit power without loss. This can conserve hand strength, which is the first to wear out, and increase the probability of catching a big fish.

Hexagon Reel Seat - Advantage.04

A rubber cushion has been devised for the area where the reel foot rests. This prevents the reel from loosening even if it's not strongly tightened, and prevents the reel from rattling even in hard fishing. Rod and reel are perfectly integrated.

Feature.02 – Redesigned Guide System

The T-RVSG40 butt guide ensures smooth line release with large reels and heavy line systems, maximizing casting performance. In the tip section, ZENAQ’s original assist guide minimizes line trouble, keeping you ready when the big strike comes.

Feature.03 – Single Wrapped Guides

Single wrapping minimizes interference with the blank, preserving the rod’s natural action. The result is sharper response, cleaner swings, and a feel that stays true to the original design.

Feature.04 – Hexagon Grip

ZENAQ’s original irregular hexagonal front grip offers a secure hold with less effort, reducing fatigue even in long battles. It delivers superior control for lure work and fighting power—an indispensable feature for big game angling.

Feature.05 – Type R Original Metal Ring

Custom metal components engraved with the Type R logo serve as both a mark of authenticity and a symbol of ZENAQ’s uncompromising craftsmanship.

Feature.06 – MUTHOS Logo

A gun-metallic thread design paired with a silk-printed MUTHOS-inspired logo adds a bold aesthetic touch, echoing the spirit of MUTHOS RACING.

Designed with precision in rubber hardness, surface finish, and metal accents, ZENAQ’s original end grip ensures smooth, fatigue-free casting. Its functional beauty reflects the demands of long sessions where every cast counts.
