Zenaq Sinpaa SC83-95G Hiramasa
Note: Due to our distribution agreement with Zenaq, we are unable to supply their rods outside of Australia and New Zealand. We apologise for any inconvenience to our International customers!
Born from the concept of "landing monsters with light lures", this is Zenaq's pinnacle of light lure casting rods. Designed to balance the needs of precise casting, light lure control and fish fighting power, the Sinpaa is the perfect rod for finesse presentations on giant fish!
Featuring a soft tip section for casting control with lures as small as 60g, smoothly loading into a supportive mid-section which offers great lure control and cushioning during the fight. Ideally suited and designed for working stickbaits at fussy kingfish the Hiramasa will still happily work small cup poppers and small cup diving poppers. If you did want to throw some smaller cup poppers/diving poppers we recommend keeping the lure weights around the 120g (rigged) mark. The butt section is powerful enough to land a range of large pelagic fish in the 10-40kg class, from tunas and kingfish, to mackerel or GT.
The "SINPAA" aggressive rod series is designed to master technical fishing techniques
Each model is engineered with a purpose-built blank, meticulously tuned for the target species and fishing situations.
Backed by over 25 years of ZENAQ’s offshore casting expertise, it embodies a commitment to true performance—a rod designed to remain unmatched, even a decade from now.
Guiding anglers who relentlessly pursue greater heights to sights unseen.
For just one moment.
For just one fish.
Because it’s there.
The Sinpaa Rods are fitted with Fuji MNSG Stainless SiC guides in the lower part of the rod for strength and durability along with Fuji KWSG Titanium SiC guides towards the tip for light weight. The classic Zenaq hexagonal grips are combined with the Hexagon reel seat for the perfect connection between angler, rod and reel.
Ideally suited to Shimano/Daiwa 10000-14000 sized reel, it will happily take and balance a 18000 size reel.
All Zenaq rods are hand made in Japan at Zenaq!

FEATURE.01
Unparalleled Lure Control
A single mistake in lure action can mean the difference between success and failure.

FEATURE.02
Dominant Fight Control with a Power Butt
To withstand powerful surges from large fish and dominate short, intense battles in rugged terrain, butt power is essential.
The SINPAA HIRAMASA features a high-power yet flexible butt section, delivering both raw strength and controlled resilience.
This design minimizes the risk of line breakage while allowing precise control over aggressive fish.
By absorbing violent bursts and maintaining dominance, its torque-rich power ensures every opportunity is capitalized upon.

FEATURE.03
Precision & Distance Casting Performance
In a casting game that demands repeated casts throughout the day, a rod’s casting performance directly influences success.
To maximize effectiveness, the SINPAA HIRAMASA enhances three critical aspects: casting distance, accuracy, and long-term comfort.
Designed to fully load with lure weight, the blank’s recoil force launches lures effortlessly, delivering exceptional long casts while maintaining pinpoint accuracy.
Even against strong headwinds, its smooth swing-through minimizes wind resistance, ensuring stable, controlled casting in adverse conditions.
In rough weather, consistent, high-precision casting becomes a decisive advantage.
Additionally, the Hexagon Reel Seat stabilizes hand positioning, reducing unwanted movement and minimizing fatigue during prolonged casting sessions.
FEATURE.04
HEXAGON Reel Seat (PAT.P)

Designed with absolute precision, the Hexagon Reel Seat redefines casting, lure operation, and fight performance.
Its unique hexagonal shape and strategically formulated rubber compound wrap the entire reel seat, delivering an unparalleled, palm-fitting grip and seamless control.
This enhanced grip a secure hold with minimal effort, ensuring firm rod control during casting and intense fights.
Additionally, its anti-wobble structure minimizes reel movement, eliminating the need for repeated tightening even during extended sessions.
Built with hydrolysis-resistant rubber, it maintains peak performance and durability over long-term use.
FEATURE.05

FEATURE.06
Assist Guide
Preventing line trouble at critical moments, ZENAQ’s exclusive Assist Guide setting is designed.
By placing the second guide directly below the top guide, this design eliminates tip-section tangles, reducing line trouble during casting and rod action in strong winds.
It also enhances line slack control during lure operation, ensuring stable performance even in highly technical situations.
A must-have guide setting for offshore casting, built to seize every opportunity.
