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.
