The Zing Xtreme V3 is the high-performance carbon range in the Zing family, built with CrossCore Wrap construction for a light, strong blank. Guides are Fuji K Alconite and the reel seats are Fuji, finished with carbon locking rings and a minimalist ash-coloured EVA grip with silver highlights.
Twenty-four rods span 5'4" to 7'6" across the full power range from Extra Light through XXH. That spread covers finesse estuary work at the light end through to heavy plastic and structure fishing at the top.
The Xtreme V3 sits above the standard Zing on blank technology and components, with the carbon CrossCore construction chosen for a lighter, higher-modulus feel than the Nano+ graphite blanks. It is aimed at anglers who prioritise reduced blank weight and casting precision across a wide range of lure applications. The CrossCore Wrap construction layers the carbon at angles that add hoop strength without the weight of a heavier wall, and the Alconite guide rings run lighter and slicker than standard rings for casting distance and line protection. Carbon locking rings replace metal seats hardware to shave further weight, and the ash-coloured EVA grip keeps the balance point in the hand. The XXH models at the top of the range extend the platform into heavy structure and larger-species work.
