The Trad 87 brings the refined aesthetics of Zenaq’s Bamboowork series to a highly capable light-game rod. Originally designed for eging, it has proven itself an exceptionally versatile tool for a wide range of light-tackle applications worldwide.

Its mid-range fast action delivers crisp, precise lure work with Egi 2.5–3.5, as well as other light lures, while the carefully tuned blank feels weightless in hand when paired with a smooth 2500–3000 size reel. The RG guide system ensures flawless line flow, while the bamboo-inspired paintwork, natural wood grip, and gold reel seat combine traditional Japanese elegance with modern performance.

Whether you’re targeting squid, inshore predators, or simply enjoying a relaxed day on the water, the Trad 87 offers an unmatched combination of style, sensitivity, and versatility.

Key Features:

  • Length: 8’7”
  • Egi: 2.5–3.5
  • Line: PE Max #1.5
  • Recommended reel size: 2500–3000
  • Mid-fast action for precise lure work and versatile applications
  • RG Guide System for smooth, tangle-free line management
  • Bamboo-inspired finish with natural wood grip and gold reel seat
  • Lightweight, perfectly balanced design for fatigue-free fishing

A rod that blends artistry and performance, the Trad 87 is for anglers who appreciate elegance in every cast.
