Resulting from more than two decades of development, the new range of Glanz casting rods from Zenaq is the fruit of meticulous craftsmanship, guided by innovation and a burning passion for bigbait fishing. True to the DNA of the Japanese brand, each rod embodies much more than brute power: it is designed to give the angler a sense of absolute control, whatever the circumstances.

The Glanz push the boundaries of traditional rods made with traditional materials by combining impressive robustness with perfectly balanced flexibility. This bold combination allows precise management of the most massive lures, while ensuring unmatched reactivity and comfort during fights. Every movement becomes instinctive: casting, animation, hooking... everything is fluid, natural, in perfect synchronization with the angler.

True concentrates of technology and experience, these rods reinvent the standards of fishing in extreme conditions. They are not just tools, but faithful extensions of your intention, forged to challenge the most formidable predators and face the most demanding environments.

The Black Out:

Designed to cast swimbaits around 100g, the Glanz Black Out embodies the perfect fusion between tradition and modernity. A direct descendant of the legendary Glanz B73 Circular - an iconic model - this revisited version preserves its original spirit while significantly expanding its capabilities.

Thanks to its wide casting range, it easily accepts a wide range of lures, whether soft or hard. Its exceptional sensitivity transmits every vibration with remarkable finesse, animating the lure with natural ease. This dynamic strengthens the direct connection with the fish, for an ever more precise feel.

Whether from the shore or on a boat, its versatility adapts to all environments and all fishing situations. This is where the Black Out stands out, offering optimal reactivity and performance with each cast.

Its hybrid ring system has been designed to limit friction with the nylon and prevent tip looping associated with the use of braid, ensuring smooth and snag-free casts.

Ideal for hunting the most combative predators such as pike, black bass, barramundi, musky or striped bass.

The Lapua Magnum:

Big bait fishing is becoming more and more common. It's a technique that is increasingly common and appreciated by pike fishermen. The Lapua Magnum is a new generation rod designed to effortlessly animate 300g swimbaits with a lightness and precision never seen before. It benefits from a flexible but powerful blank designed to reduce your fatigue while allowing ultra-precise casts to previously inaccessible areas.

This rod cuts through the water resistance with ease allowing for sharp, precise and controlled animations despite the size of the lures. In combat, the blank reacts flexibly to tension variations, ensuring a controlled fight.

This flexibility also allows for the control of lighter lures, around 50g, a surprising versatility for such a powerful rod. If you had to take only one rod then the Lapua Magnum would be the right one!

The ring assembly is compatible with both nylon and braid.

The Super Bonker:

This is the most powerful rod in the range. It was designed for fishermen who combine strength, technique and experience. The Super Bonker represents the ultimate achievement in the world of big bait rods.

This rod is not for everyone. It is aimed at fishermen who want to push their limits! To meet the demands of these fishermen, the Zenaq brand has taken on one of the greatest technical challenges possible: safely and confidently casting 1000g lures and animating them precisely despite extreme water resistance, while reducing the physical fatigue of the fisherman.

This rod gently loads the weight of the lure during the armament and accelerates it in a perfectly controlled curve, releasing the stored energy in a powerful and controlled cast. The blank is designed to absorb the weight of the lure reducing your fatigue and avoiding hook pulls during strikes.

During fights, the rod follows each head shake with flexibility, until the final outcome in full control.
