Zenaq Glanz GB84-X10 Utopian Bluster Swimbait Rod

The Zenaq Glanz GB84-X10 Utopian Bluster is a long-cast model built exclusively for fishing PE lines. The extra length and PE designed guide setup helps deliver exceptional casting distance as well as lure control throughout its casting range. The regular action blank loads deeply and launches lures into zones that may have been previously untouchable. The same action allows the blank to effectively cast a wide variety of weights, from 50g minnows and soft baits, right through to XL 200g plus swimbaits, making it one of the most versatile rods in the range

The Utopian Buster is the only model in the Glanz range with a two piece mid join meaning mobility and traveling is as easy as possible. 

Perfectly designed to cast and manipulate glide baits, crankbaits, topwater stickbaits and large minnows. Targeting species like mulloway, Murray cod, barramundi, through to longtail tuna, mackerel and various reef species if you wanted to work stickbaits over the flats. 

Exceptional Casting Ease for Oversized Lures “Deliver astonishing distance effortlessly.“
In the Gigantic Game, casting 100g, 400g, or even 1000g-class lures repeatedly is standard. GLANZ rods feature a supple yet muscular blank design that stores energy deeply on the takeback and releases it with explosive force. This generates powerful, accurate long casts while distributing load across the entire rod to reduce strain on the wrist and thumb. Even after a full day of casting, fatigue is minimal, keeping your focus sharp until the very last cast.

Precision Control with Heavyweight Swimbaits “A level of technical finesse never before possible.”
GLANZ blanks merge flexibility with responsive snapback, transforming the immense water resistance of giant lures into crisp, lifelike action. From slow, deliberate movements to sharp, aggressive input, every nuance of angler intent is transferred directly underwater. Whether it’s glide baits or big stickbaits, GLANZ brings command and control to a wide variety of lures—regardless of lure weight.

Secure Hooksets and Confident Fight Control “Never miss that one chance.“
Many still believe a stiff rod is the only choice for heavy swimbaits. But that stiffness often means losing the one fish that matters. GLANZ delivers exceptional hook-up performance through its flexible yet firm blank, reducing missed bites and lost fish. From hookset to landing, the rod absorbs and controls the combined load of the fish and lure—giving you the confidence to finish the fight.

Guide Systems Tuned to Your Line “Eliminating line trouble before it ever happens.”
Casting heavy lures through the air creates sudden deceleration that can cause catastrophic line troubles—tip wraps, backlashes, and more. GLANZ models are equipped with optimized original guide systems: PE-exclusive setups or dual PE/mono configurations, depending on the model. Each rod also features ZENAQ’s proprietary assist guide, delivering a seamless, trouble-free experience that lets you stay fully locked in.

Ultra-Dense EVA Grip “Feel the difference from the first touch.”
During full-power casts with oversized lures, a soft grip can rob you of energy transfer. GLANZ solves this by incorporating an ultra-dense EVA grip directly beneath the reel seat—minimizing compression and maximizing energy transmission through casting, lure control, and fish fighting.

Leash Cord-Ready Metal Sleeve “A trusted detail for uncompromised casting confidence.”
When launching a full-power cast with a heavyweight swimbait — what if a sudden backlash strikes at that very moment? The massive load, amplified by casting momentum, can recoil instantly and rip the entire tackle from your hands. Even the thought of that risk can cause anglers to subconsciously hold back on their cast. That’s why every GLANZ rod comes equipped with a long metal sleeve designed for leash cord attachment. If unexpected line trouble occurs, it ensures your rod stays secured. Elegant security—built to back your boldest cast.

High-Rigidity Grip End Structure “Stability and precision in every swing.”
All GLANZ models come equipped with ZENAQ’s original balancer ring and custom grip end, designed not only to fine-tune balance, but to eliminate torsion during powerful casts. The lightweight and highly maneuverable High Cork End (GB73-X5 / GB67-X10 / GB84-X10), and the high-strength Rubber End for full-power casts with the heaviest lures (GB80-X20 / GB78-X78)
