Zenaq - SINPAA SC81-80 Hiramasa Topwater Rod

Zenaq

The SC81-80G HIRAMASA is Zenaq’s ultimate light casting rod, purpose-built for the unique challenge of landing big fish on small lures. When kingfish or other pelagics are locked on to tiny bait or heavily pressured, downsizing is often the only way to draw a strike – but traditional heavy rods lack the finesse to cast and work lighter lures effectively. This model changes that. Its ultra-soft, responsive tip is tuned for precise casting and lifelike action with lures from 40–100g, while the torque-rich butt section holds the stopping power to subdue fish well over 10–20kg. The smooth, progressive action not only enhances lure control but also cushions sudden surges, reducing pulled hooks and lost fish. Built for all-day performance, the SC81-80G offers exceptional swing-through for accurate, low-trajectory casts – even into headwinds – and unmatched maneuverability for quick adjustments when fish change direction. Equipped with Zenaq’s Hexagon Reel Seat, Hexagon Grip, and Assist Guide system, it delivers secure handling, fatigue-free comfort, and reduced tip-section tangles in tough conditions. Key Features: Length: 8’3” Lure Weight: 40–100g Line: PE #5–#6 | Recommended Leader: 100–130lb Recommended reel size: SW10000–14000 Ultra-soft tip for precise casting and natural lure action Powerful butt section for fighting large fish on light tackle Hexagon Reel Seat – stable, palm-fitting grip with anti-wobble design Hexagon Grip – ergonomic, fatigue-reducing handle Assist Guide to minimise line tangles in windy conditions Ideal for kingfish, tuna, GT, and other powerful pelagics when downsizing lures is essential For anglers who want delicate lure presentation without sacrificing fight control, the SC81-80G HIRAMASA sets a new benchmark in light tackle big game casting.
