Zenaq Inqlude IS88-M9 Magnum Bullet Rod Review

 

This week at Fish Head, were putting the spotlight on the Zenaq Inqlude IS88-M9 Magnum Bullet. The defining characteristic of this rod is its astonishing castability, launching large lures like big minnows with the explosive force of a bullet hence the name. Unlike typical seabass rods, it effortlessly casts out large lures weighing 50g to 80g even in adverse weather conditions, allowing you to reach that extra 5 meters that was previously unattainable. The high-response blank delivers exceptional sensitivity, transmitting the subtle vibrations of lure wobbles and even the slightest changes in current. It also provides the control needed to effortlessly work even large topwater plugs with a walk-the-dog action with ease.

 
 

This rod is super versatile, very light in the hand and has some serious stopping power when needed. The Inqlude IS88-M9 Magnum bullet would be a perfect choice for the angler who wants to take one rod down to the beach or local rock ledge to cast a wide range of lures from 10g through to a max of 80g giving you the versatility to throw numerous presentations at fish. This rod will be perfect for chasing tailor, salmon, longtail tuna, smaller kingfish, trevallies and mackerel species.

 

 

Zenaq's unique RG guide system, which has a high reputation as "the guide system with the least line trouble", has been further improved. By evolving the conventional RG butt guide (RG7) into the ultra-high "RG10", it can handle a wide range of mid-shore games up to PE3 class lines. The RG10 instantly suppresses the line loop released from the reel spool and converts it into a straight line trajectory without fluttering. This new RG10 guide system has been beefed up to allow the use of up to 60lb shock leaders to be used further enhancing the versatility of this rod,

 

Like most new models from Zenaq it also features there new Hexagon reel seat. The Hexagon reel seat uses a carbon frame skeleton and a special rubber that does not change due to hydrolysis. By covering the entire rod with rubber designed with exquisite hardness, it creates an unprecedented feeling that fits your hand, and the unique hexagonal shape makes it easy to hold the rod with little force. Another fantastic feature of this reel seat is that it doesn't come loose during a long fight!!

The Inqlude IS88-M9 Magnum bullet will best balance with a 4000 to 6000 size reel from Shimano or Daiwa.

 

All Zenaq rods are handmade in house at Zenaq Japan!!
