Just as the beginning of the Age of Discovery saw the improvement of shipbuilding technology and the spread of compasses. With the advent of next-generation carbon materials, fishing rods are now entering a new world. Anglers who hold them will become pioneers of the Age of Discovery.
BLANK
Outstanding "distance", "accuracy", and "power" "M40X" x "T1100G" = Foojin'Z The flagship Foojin'Z has had an unwavering concept since the first generation. That is "overwhelming distance" and "power that does not give the initiative to even ranker sea bass". The fifth generation Zeta has achieved both at an unprecedented level. This was made possible by the existence of TORAYCA® third-generation carbon "M40X" and "T1100G". With the birth of these two, the performance of high elasticity (M40X) and medium elasticity (T1100G) materials has been greatly improved. The latest material that has dramatically improved rods in the last 20 years will lead all sea bass anglers into uncharted territory.
[M40X] Incredible "sensitivity" and "operability" that eliminates all blurring. 40t high-elasticity carbon fiber. The latest material designed for use in rockets and next-generation aircraft. Pursuing both elastic modulus and strength to the limit, the compressive strength is improved by 30% while maintaining the same elastic modulus as M40J. The material is responsible for improved repelling performance and casting speed, and the resin used is #2574 (nano alloy).
[T1100G] World's highest level carbon, extraordinary "strength" and "power". 33t medium-elasticity carbon fiber. A carbon fiber developed for rockets, F1, and next-generation aerospace applications, it boasts the highest level of tensile strength in the world as of April 2021. In addition to its strength, the material accelerates the rod speed when casting and creates flexibility in bending, and the resin used is #2574 (nano alloy).
JOINT
APIA's new technology "NANO JOINT" to get as close as possible to a one-piece rod
APIA's new joint system "NANO JOINT" eliminates the weak point of two-piece rods, which is the tension of the joint. By adopting NANO ALLOY® technology in the joint, we have achieved a bending curve that is as close as possible to a one-piece rod. In addition, the joint is polished with ultra-high precision of 2 to 5 mm to prevent it from loosening during fishing.
*Since NANO JOINT is polished with ultra-high precision, do not use ferrule wax.
GRIP
"APIA Palm Grip System" that allows you to grip it firmly without applying unnecessary force
The "APIA Palm Grip" installed in the 5th generation Foojin'Z is a grip designed to prevent a gap between the palm and the EVA material when gripping it. By slightly raising the back, you can get a good fit. In addition, the reel seat hood is made of shrink rubber material that conveys solid sensitivity to your fingertips.
GUIDE
Fuji titanium frame "TORZITE" & "SiC-S"
The guides installed in Foojin'Z are a unique guide system based on the abundant field experience of APIA testers. SiC-S rings are set on the top guide and butt guide, which are angled and cause PE line "squeaks" and "twists," and TORZITE rings are set on all other intermediate parts. This lightweight and smooth APIA unique setting has achieved a final stretch that allows you to feel the lure's flight distance increase.
MONSTARBREAK 98H
The Monster Break 98H is the strongest power rod among the 5th generation Foojin'Z. The sharp blank and the strongest class of power make it possible to control fish without hesitation, even around structures and in rapids where power games are essential. When casting, the elasticity of the blank allows the lure to fly away, achieving an overwhelming distance. Clad in TORAYCA® third generation carbon, this rod can be said to be a breakthrough in power rods.
