The new FOKEETO IKARI is a super elastic offshore jigging rod, featuring ZENAQ’s novel proprietary technology: the “IKARI Blank”. Until now, blanks this thin have never had the lightening-fast recovery or extreme durability of the IKARI, which make them ideal for all types of jigging. No longer do anglers have to bring a variety of rods with them in order to properly work different types of jigs; IKARI rods excel at working all types of jigs, from slow and short to semi-long and even long jigs. IKARI rods also allow anglers to chase larger fish with smaller and lighter set-ups due to the blanks’ unprecedented elastic limits. With these rods, fatigue and missed hits are concerns of the past; ultralight, ultra-sensitive, and ultra-strong, these rods are designed to maximize your enjoyment of the offshore jigging experience.
IKARI blanks consist of a “Carbon x Carbon” structure—inside the hollow elastic carbon tube of the blank, there is a solid carbon core. This design dispels the notion that high elasticity correlates to low strength and durability. Such a structure allows for the IKARI blank to be ultra-sensitive and extremely durable but still have the fast recovery that jigging anglers seek.
Only a highly elastic blank can impart the action to jigs that drives fish crazy. Unfortunately, many of these blanks lack durability for that same reason. As such, when fighting fish with highly elastic rods, anglers often feel anxious about breaking their rods and point their rods at the fish as a result, relying solely on reels to fight fish. The IKARI’s superior “Carbon x Carbon” structure provides anglers with peace of mind when fighting fish with their rods, for these blanks are deceivingly strong.
