The Hamachi Zenku Super Nano™ JDM is a compact, high-performance general-purpose jig and boat rod built on premium Super Nano Carbon.

 

Despite a diameter that looks more like a finesse flick stick than a powerful jig rod, the Zenku is verified capable of a 10kg deadlift — an extraordinary specification for a rod working in the PE 1–3 line class, and a figure that tells you everything about what's happening inside the blank.

 

It is backed by our Hamachi Lifetime Warranty and is built to the JDM exacting standards. The range is available in two lengths and two line classes. The 5'2" 2-piece is the compact, high-leverage option — ideal for working jigs in deep water from a boat where a shorter rod transfers energy directly and efficiently, with the PE 0.5–3 version covering finesse jigs to 70g in spinning format, and the PE 1–3 stepping up to 100g jigs in both spinning and overhead.

 

The 6'2" 2-piece adds tip length and a wider arc for anglers who prefer a little more sweep in their jigging stroke, covering the same PE 0.5–3 and PE 1–3 line classes.

 

All models feature a parabolic quick-recovery taper purpose-built for slow-pitch jigging, a dual foregrip for wrist control and leverage on long drifts, and the signature JDM fish-scale patterned butt section and upgraded SiC guides. Slow-pitch jigging is the primary technique — the Zenku is in its absolute element working octo jigs, knife jigs and butterfly jigs in a slow, seductive action over deep structure.

 

It is equally capable on soft plastics, EGI squid jigs, bottom bait rigs and stray-line presentations. Target species include Snapper, Kingfish, Amberjack, Cubera, Grouper, Hapuku, Coral Trout, Red Emperor, Nannygai, Dogtooth Tuna, Giant Trevally, Yellowfin and Bluefin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Cobia and Jacks — the full roll call of boat fishing species across Australia, Japan and beyond. If it lives on or near a reef and can be tempted with a jig, the Zenku will find it.
