Sinpaa is Zenaq's shore-plugging line specialized for hiramasa (yellowtail) on lures, distilling more than two decades of the company's offshore casting work into two dedicated rods. The design is built around the demands of hiramasa fishing, where a single mistimed lure dive can cost the fish, so the blanks prioritize lure-handling precision alongside casting accuracy and fighting control. Rather than a stiff power build, Sinpaa uses a flexible power design intended to absorb surges and reduce line-break risk while keeping the angler in control of large fish. Both models are spinning and carry the HIRAMASA designation. The SC81-80G covers the lighter end, pairing a 40-100g lure rating with PE 5-6 to land monster hiramasa in the 10-20kg-plus class on relatively light plugs. The SC83-95G steps up to a 60-140g rating and PE 6-8, positioned as a high-power all-rounder for 15-30kg-plus fish that balances manipulation, casting and fighting power. The two rods bracket the shore hiramasa game from a finesse-leaning approach up through heavy, big-fish plugging.
