Fokeeto FC73-3 Twitch Versatile Spinning Rod by Zenaq

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!

The Fokeeto Twitch rod is one of the most successful and popular rods in the Zenaq range. This revised version utilizes improved carbon and resin technology for superb sensitivity, casting distance and better lure manipulation. The rod retains the punchy, responsive action and low down power that was loved in the original. The FC73-3 is the ideal light tackle offshore rod for anything from smaller poppers, minnows and stickbaits through to larger soft plastics and vibration baits. The rod suits PE3-4 lines and reels such as Shimano 5000-6000 SW Stella or Daiwa 5000-6000 Saltiga. For many anglers this rod sits neatly on the crossover between being the heavy rod of choice for inshore fishing, as well as the ideal light-tackle rod for offshore trips.

This rod is right at home chasing longtail tuna, mackerel, salmon and bonito in the bays, kingfish in the washes, offshore snapper and reefies as well as mahi mahi at the FADs. This is the perfect topwater rod for the coral flats too; the power comes on quickly through the mid-section of the blank, allowing firm hooksets and keeps the fish from turning its head back to the reef.

Zenaq has been hand making fishing rods in Japan since 1960, beginning with bamboo, then glass fiber and now carbon fibre. They are one of the few manufacturers left in Japan making rods fully in house from concept to completion.  Their quality and attention to detail in construction is second to none. Pursuit of perfection is everywhere in Zenaq rods from the initial cutting on carbon sheets through to the final layer of epoxy on a finished rod.
