Zenaq Tobizo TC77 Tuna - Monster Buster
At ZENAQ, 25 years ago in 1998, we introduced the Monster Buster, specifically designed to catch monster (over 200kg) tunas. Since then, our passion has driven us to continually develop rods for big game fishing. Advancements in tackle, including lines and hooks, have made tunas over 200kg a feasible target. Yet, we aspired to create a rod capable of going head-to-head with these giants in casting game. This ambition led to the inception of Project Monster Buster.
Thanks to the DBL Structure (Deep Bias Layered Construction), this rod blank boasts impressive heavy load durability, able to withstand the maximum drag from a large reel even at a steep angle of 65 degrees. Its core flexibility allows the rod to be bent effectively with realistic human strength, generating repulsive power as it bends. Even in a fight with monster tunas, the rod blank remains robust, assisting anglers by lifting while enduring the strain. Its length of 7’7’’ optimizes casting performance, lure control, and performance when facing the heaviest fight. This flexible rod blank can elegantly handle lightweight lures, accurately casting them to the desired spot. It offers a significant advantage in tuna casting game.
To take on monster tunas that exceed human limits, the rod blank must be absolutely trustworthy.
We've configured our guides for use with ultra-large tackle such as reels over size 20000 and PE lines with a PE rating of 12. Moreover, the Assist Guide significantly reduces line tangling at the tip, eliminating line troubles and enabling smooth line release and stable long-distance casting. This ensures you don't miss the big chance.
