The Zenaq Muthos Sonio 93M is an original, hand made Rockshore rod, for anglers who seek the finest quality.
Zenaq released their first Rockshore rod over 20 years ago. Muthos was developed to satisfy the most dedicated anglers, who are passionate about Big Game shore fishing. Because there was no rod specifically for this purpose, Zenaq explored new rods and fishing methods, through a series of trial and error, making numerous prototypes and testing them many times. Zenaq avoided flashy designs and removed all unnecessary parts, to focus on the essence of their ambitious ideas. The result of this long process was the Zenaq Muthos, a genuinely useful rockshore rod range.
Powerful rods are necessary for targeting big fish, but they cant handle light lures perfectly. Medium-class rods, are good for light lures around 10g, but they lack the strength to fight big targets. The main concept behind the Muthos Sonio 93M was the need to overcome this issue. Zenaq finally created the ideal rod blank based on the Muthos Accura and many field tests. The Sonio 93M casts and controls Jigs between 10 and 100 gr and Plugs between 10 and 70g like a medium-class spinning rod with a sensitive, soft tip, yet it displays the exceptional power of a real rockshore rod when fighting big targets.
The Zenaq Muthos Sonio 93M is an evolutionary, short rod that maintains the performance of the Sonio100M, while enabling even more delicate lure handling. This rod offers easy handling, thanks to its excellent balance and an action that does not impair lure movement. Its surprisingly nimble handling also reduces the amount of physical strength required by the angler. The crisp casting ability, also contributes to increasing the lure’s flying distance. All in all the Zenaq Muthos Sonio 93M is a nimble and powerful short rod, that allows anglers to create a different kind of Rock Shore game, while utilizing a wide range of lures from 10g Plugs to 100g Jigs.
The Zenaq Muthos Sonio 93M RG rod has been developed, based on the same philosophy as its Accura predecessor, with the main difference being that the Sonio 93M has great power, while remaining a technical and very versatile rod at its core. It is a fact, that with the Zenaq Muthos Sonio 93M one can work effectively any type of lure, such as Jigs, Hard baits and Silicones. It has the perfect action to handle any type of artificial bait, in the weight range from 10 to 100 gr, in an impressive manner, as well as the management of braids starting at PE# 1.0 – 3.0. The Zenaq Sonio rod will provide solutions in many different fishing conditions and meet the needs of the most demanding anglers.
With its Fast Tip action, it enables hard baits to accomplish the ideal movement underwater, the increased casting distance and the immediacy in strikes. Fishing with a Zenaq Sonio rod produces an amazing feeling to the angler when handling hard artificial baits, as he can sense even the motion of underwater currents that can affect the motion of the lure. The Muthos Sonio 93M has an impressive, parabolic bending, that makes the upper 1/3 of the rod extremely sensitive, while the butt is extremely powerful. Its progressive curve contributes to striking catches with confidence, but also allows the angler to effectively exhaust the most fighting prey.
Zenaq has created the Sonio 93M, with the aim of developing a technical rod, which can handle equally well, light lures for relaxing fishing sessions and at the same time to possess the necessary strength to face really big opponents. Never before had sensitivity and strength been so harmoniously balanced in the development of a rod.
The Sonio 93M has been developed, utilizing the RG Guide System (LC). Its equipped T-LCSG as Butt guides. By using T-LCSG with smaller guide ring size, than K guide model, it instantly suppresses a line spiral and its narrow guide setting, makes PE line run straight between each guide, with very small friction.
The RG Guide System utilizes approximately twice as many guides, along the length of the blank, compared to other layouts. All of the guides are of the same, compact size. Due to the guides proximity to one another, line passes from one to the next, as straight as possible to minimize air resistance, improve cast smoothness and decrease the rate of tangles. In addition, with more contact between line and guides when retrieving lures, or fighting fish, an unprecedented amount of power and sensitivity is extracted from the blank.
By setting twice as many guides as in conventional guide systems, the flapping of the PE line is minimized, casting performance is improved, and line trouble is reduced. The blank and the line follow each other perfectly, improving sensitivity and lure operability, and supporting power transmission.
The last guide on the tip, referred to as the Assist Guide in the RG Guide System, is always placed 4 cm from the tip. Zenaq has determined this to be the optimal distance to prevent line from wrapping around the blank, just before the tip guide, a frequent annoyance with other guide layouts, that robs you of valuable fishing time. Now, even during windy days, you can concentrate on fishing knowing that line wrapping around the rod is a concern of the past, with the RG Guide System.
In summary, the RG Guide System (LC) offers the following unique benefits:
Cast farther than ever before. The RG Guide System allows for longer casting distances to be achieved, than ever before. The small diameter and the exact positioning of the guides suppress line spirals, while the small decreased distance between guides allows PE lines to shoot straight through the entire layout, with absolutely minimal friction. This becomes especially apparent in adverse weather conditions, as this system greatly decreases resistance on the line, due to strong winds.
Less line troubles. The RG Guide System also decreases PE line troubles dramatically. The guides spacing and small ring diameter work together to suppress line oscillation, so even the thinnest PE braids can pass through the guides in a straight line. On top of that, the last guide at the tip of the rod, has been placed 40mm from the tip, aiming to eliminate all line wrapping around the tip.
Maximum Rod Power and Suppleness. Due to the close guide spacing along the blank, the braid follows the natural curve of the blank very closely when bent. As a result, more of the blanks power can be accessed, which allows the angler to set hooks more efficiently and fight fish which bring the reels drag force to its limit. At the same time, the guides setting enable the blank to absorb more of the fishs fighting power and avoid line breaks.
Precision in controlling the lure. By minimizing slack line, in between the guides, the RG Guide System greatly improves smoothness and precision in lure control. Lures are much more responsive to the slightest command from your rod and the angler can derive more accuracy in the lures action, with much less effort.
Exquisite sensitivity. The narrow guides setting, means that there are many guides on the rod, and these serve as multiple many sensors. They carry more and better information from underwater, like movement of fish or that of the lure. The sensitivity that the RG guides are offering is second to none. The ultra-light weight of the small, titanium-framed guides, exclusively used in the RG Guide System also improve the rods recovery speed to its original state.
Zenaqs innovative ergonomic hexagonal foregrip, known as the Hexagon Grip, has been designed to fit an anglers hands comfortably, giving him a huge advantage, when fighting large fish. Contoured to maximize grip with minimal pressure, your hand will not tire nearly as much as with a cylindrical handle during a fight with a large fish. Additionally, the hexagonal grip offers more precise lure control, helping you tempt more strikes from fish.
