Rather than reducing the overall weight of the rod, Zenaq developed the Inqlude IS83-M3 Squid Squad based on the concept of a rod blank, that really does the necessary work, which in a way meant the opposite of weight reduction.

The Inqlude is a specialty rod series, designed for coastal, mid-shore game fishing, with each blank meticulously tailored to specific targets and scenarios. Indulge your passion with these exceptional, meticulously crafted rod blanks.

Knowing the characteristics of the target fish, Zenaq has optimized the performance of the blanks. Relying on its vast experience from the fishing field (cast feeling, required lure action, rod fighting power, etc.), Zenaq has formed the basis of blank design. When converting all this knowledge into blanks, it is necessary to work with the most advanced, rod making techniques The super blanks, created with the know-how accumulated over 60 years as a blank manufacturer, is the backbone of the Inqlude.

Zenaqs proprietary RG guide system, celebrated for its exceptional line management, has evolved even further. By upgrading the conventional RG Butt Guide (RG7), to the ultra-high-leg RG10, it now accommodates a wider range of mid-shore game fishing lines, up to PE3. The RG10 instantly suppresses line loops released from the spool, transforming them into a straight, flutter-free line trajectory. Experience the exhilarating perfect cast feeling as the line effortlessly passes through the densely arranged, narrow-setting guide tunnel. The Zenaq RG guide system, minimizes line troubles and maintains casting distance even in rainy, or windy conditions.

Zenaqs Hexagon Reel Seat, originally developed for big game fishing, has been meticulously designed for every aspect of casting, lure manipulation, and intense fights. The Inqlude incorporates the Hexagon Reel Seat 15, designed to perfectly fit the reel sizes, typically used in mid-shore game fishing, staying true to the original concept. A carbon frame skeleton and a special rubber material, that resists hydrolysis have been utilized. The entire reel seat is covered with rubber, engineered with an ideal firmness, creating an unprecedented, comfortable grip. The unique hexagonal shape ensures secure handling, allowing for effortless control of the rod.

The handle has been designed for easy casting and operability, even when wearing a life jacket. The grip end is made of EVA material, offering excellent mobility and a comfortable grip. The iconic balancer ring is indispensable in Zenaqs rod design philosophy, which prioritizes overall rod balance, over the rods actual weight.

The Zenaq Inqlude IS83-M3 Squid Squad is an all-round model, which perfected the “Parabolic Action” essential to an Eging rod. It is a delicate, yet powerful rod, ready for squid action, year-round, tackling small to large squid, with Squid Jigs between 2.5 to 3.5. Equipped with components selected for optimal rod balance, this is a practical rod that exhibits high-level performance, from lure casting, to squid landing.

Using a combination of high-elasticity carbon at the tip and medium-elasticity carbon at the butt, yields a unique action, that bends the rod from the butt, while maintaining strong power throughout the blank. The parabolic curve is an essential rod action, in any Eging rod. By bending the butt, energy is accumulated and transferred to the highly elastic tip at once, producing powerful casting and whipping that cannot be experienced with a fast taper rod. Also the joint of the IS83-M3 has been upgraded, to eliminate the loss of power transmission that occurs at the joint, resulting in a much smoother power drift and overall performance.

Rather than reducing the overall weight of the rod, Zenaq developed the Inqlude IS83-M3 Squid Squad based on the concept of a rod blank, that really does the necessary work, which in a way meant the opposite of weight reduction. To create a true Parabolic Action, the weight is the key to create a strong lower body and generate amazing power. The parabolic action of the rods blank is completely different from that of a Fast Action and lightweight rod, in terms of Casting, Jerking and Fighting.

When casting squid lures, the Egi must be released with its weight loading the rod, right through to the butt; the part of the rod blank with the greatest power. Swinging through the arc against the butt’s resistance, yields fast initial speed and a powerful line drive, less susceptible to wind, achieving stable distance. Similar to the use of the lower body in sports, using the “butt power” (lower body) leads not only to extra distance, but also to direction. Stable casting also means the ability to obtain sufficient casting distance, without always requiring a full power cast.

When moving the squid lure through the water, after a long cast, if the rods butt is too stiff, the lure will not move in harmony with the rods action, increasing the physical toll on the angler. Zenaqs Parabolic Action, flexes smoothly from the rods butt, retrieving the lure firmly through the full blank. The tip of the Inqlude IS83-M3, with its high-elastic carbon engineering and the bending butt, are also suited to snappy action, creating an appealing presentation even at a distance and crisp action in the lure.

That is the essence of Parabolic action.
