The Accura range of rods are the workhorse of the Zenaq shore casting range for hunting medium to large species. Featuring practical designs along with the highest quality materials and components, these rods have been refined over many years to be the pinnacle of rock fishing rods. Featuring an elastic, springy tip for casting and working the lightest baits, the rod flexes more deeply with heavier loads to slingshot larger weights with ease. When fighting fish, the rod loads smoothly into the lower section of blank, giving the angler comfort while battling large fish as well as the power to lift and steer the fish around the rocks.
The Accura 100HH Type R is the ideal rod for chasing a variety of larger species, especially kingfish, longtail tuna, mid-size GT and Spanish mackerel. It can throw hard and flat casts with minnows and plugs in the 60g range through to stickbaits and slim poppers up around 130g. With a more open swing it can cast shore jigs right up to 200g a long way. The rod suits PE3-6 line with PE5 being the ideal match. It balances with Daiwa/Shimano SW reels from 8000-14000 size.
The Guide train on the Type R Accura rods is the RG system developed by Zenaq. the concept is to use a smaller first guide to choke the line spirals coming off the reel quickly, then to funnel the line through a larger number of guides than usual. This keeps the line moving straighter and more accurately during the cast, with less tip wraps. The extra contact points give greater sensitivity and responsiveness to the lure, as well as improving the line uptake when fighting a fish.
