ZENAQ Fokeeto Light Casting Rod
Designed to excel in casting small lures long ways in both inshore and offshore fisheries, the Fokeeto Light Casting is a lightweight, high performance option for today's anglers. There are two models in the series, Longcast and Twitch. The Longcast blanks have the ability to cast great distances, while also maintaining excellent control for small and medium size lures. Each of the rods also have a powerful butt section for high drag pressures to be placed on the rod, helping maintain angler advantage over the fish during the fight. The Twitch models have a much faster action, with a powerful backbone and extremely fast recovery from the cast. All models feature premium Fuji Titanium K-Frame Guides with SiC rings, and Fuji DPS reel seats.
FC78-1-The lighter of the two Longcast models, this highly technical rod allows for unparalleled control of lures in the 10-45g range. Even though its extra soft tip section transmits even the lightest taps for higher hook-up ratios, the FC76-1 packs plenty of punch to perform on the day elephants eat peanuts.
FC78-2-When you need a proper cannon, the heavier Longcast will sling lures up to 60g with ease and work them even better. ZENAQ pro staff have tamed countless yellowtail, kingfish, and even 20+kg yellowfin tuna with this model around the globe.
FC73-3-The twitch is a special rod and personal shop favorite for targeting striped bass, The rod is equally at home slinging a live mackerel or casting a 9" spook. A great all around versatile spinning rod maintaining the soft feel of the longcast model while having enough backbone to land giants.
