Bamboo Work is Zenaq's light-game line styled around traditional Japanese aesthetics over a modern carbon blank, with bamboo-look paint, color-matched guide threads, gold reel-seat accents and wood grip elements. The series is framed as fishing for enjoyment rather than catch count or size, and pairs that styling with practical light-tackle tapers. Two models cover different disciplines: ASTRA 76 (RG10) is a 7'6" light spinning rod for light game, and Trad 87 is an 8'7" eging rod for squid. ASTRA carries an RG guide system with a tubular top and handles a wide casting range from sub-gram jig heads through float rigs to small plugs (0.3-10g, 2-8 lb, PE 0.2-0.6). Trad 87 is tuned for egi in the 2.5-3.5 号 range (6-16 lb, PE 0.4-1.5), with an action set up for working the jig. Both use aluminum reel seats and the bamboo-style finish with wood grips.
