ZENAQ Muthos Sonio "Type R" Surf Rod
Perfection, shaped.
The renowned rod MUTHOS Sonio, refined through the hands of countless anglers since its release, has now evolved even further — into the new flagship model, MUTHOS Sonio Type R.
SONIO 93M Type R - Retaining the essence of the Sonio in a lighter and more powerful short-length design.
At 9’3”, this model offers exceptional lure control, reduced fatigue thanks to its light feel, and excellent fight controllability — the short model of the MUTHOS Sonio series. Like the 100M, it covers a wide lure range from 10g plugs to 100g jigs, expanding your game versatility while providing ample power to handle unexpected giants. Recommended for anglers who prefer an agile, responsive rod, or those accustomed to 9-foot-class seabass rods seeking a seamless transition into rockshore fishing.
SONIO 100M Type R - A true all-rounder that lands big fish with the lightness of a seabass rod.
Covering a wide lure range from 10g plugs to 100g jigs, this model brings out each lure’s performance with remarkable ease, while demonstrating H-class power during the fight. It achieves an exceptional balance between lightness and power — a genuine rockshore rod designed for serious anglers. From light shore jigging with seabass lures at easily accessible piers or urban coastlines, to hard rockshore games on rugged reefs, this single rod handles it all. The 10-foot length provides excellent adaptability to various terrains and delivers a solid sense of torque through its deep, controlled bend — making it a true all-round performer.
