High-spec rod "INCLUDE" that attacks the mid-shore of the world at a high level.
A specialty rod series with blank characteristics specialised for each target and situations in brackish waters, all the way to coastal mid-shore games. Whether you are chasing bonito, kingfish or salmon, the new INQLUDE IS88-M9 is a surefire rod to elevate shore jigging.
Its greatest feature is its incredible castability, which allows it to explosively cast large lures such as big minnows as if they were being shot. It can powerfully cast large lures between 50g to 80g, which would be difficult to cast with a normal sea bass rod, even in bad weather, and can approach areas that were previously unreachable "5m away".
The highly responsive blank creates high sensitivity that conveys the wobbling of the lure and slight changes in the flow, and the operability to make even large top water plugs take action.
Furthermore, by taking advantage of the blank power, it can be used with big lures up to about 120g (full cast up to 80g) beyond the lure specifications, greatly expanding the scope of the game.
It has a light and sharp feel that cannot be experienced with rock shore rods, but it also exerts rod power that can handle larger fish. With its extraordinary versatility, it can cover everything from light lures in the 10g range to big baits, making it the ultimate heavy versatile rod whether it be flathead, jewfish kingfish in the estuary to salmon and tailor off the beach or bonito and kingfish off the rocks, the IS88-M9 is the ultimate shore based anglers rod.

FEATURE.01
Super Blank for Include
Zenaq has perfected its rod blanks by studying the characteristics of the fish their rods are designed to target. The blank design is informed by both science and feedback from fishermen, taking into account casting performance, working the lures and the power needed for the target species. In order to achieve the optimal balance between conflicting factors, advanced molding technology is crucial. Thanks to over 60 years of experience as a blank manufacturer, Zenaq creates super blanks with the perfect balance of factors, truly living up to the "fused at a high level" motto.
FEATURE.02
New RG guide system - RG10 system built for mid-shore games
The RG guide system from Zenaq, renowned for its minimal line troubles, has been upgraded to the ultra-high-footed RG10 guide. This adjustment allows it to handle various mid-shore games using PE3 class lines while effectively suppressing line loops and minimising resistance on the cast. With closely-spaced small-diameter guides, anglers can experience a "piercing cast feel" as their line passes through the narrow guide tunnel. Whether it be a rainy or windy day, this innovative guide system maintains casting distance and reduces line issues.
FEATURE.03
Hexagonal Reel Seat 15 - "The only point of contact between the angler and the rod"
Zenaq's "Hexagonal Reel Seat 20" was created with big games in mind, providing a carefully designed and thought-out reel seat that brings fresh results and surprises to casting games. The included "Hexagonal Reel Seat 15" follows the same concept and is ideal for mid-shore games, featuring a carbon frame structure and special rubber that maintains its shape. This unique reel seat offers an unparalleled comfortable grip and reliable operability due to its precise hardness and hexagonal shape, making it a crucial and often overlooked component.
FEATURE.04
Handle design that prioritises balance of the rod. ZENAQ's rod design is focused on achieving optimal weight balance in a practical manner.
The balance of the rod is crucial in "real-world" fishing scenarios with a reel and lure setup, outweighing the importance of the actual "rod weight" on paper. The handle design enables repetitive and efficient casting rhythms, while the rear grip length allows for smooth swings and does not hinder the use of life vests, resulting in the maximum casting distance for the lure. The grip end is constructed with EVA material, ensuring an effortless swing and no interference with clothing during casting. The metal rear ring, a vital "rod balancer" for enhanced fishing performance, is engraved with the ZENAQ logo, adding functional elegance.
