Better performance. Longer life. No extra charge.
For anglers who demand power, precision, and true customization, the ZENITH Tempest is a high-performance customizable fishing rod built for saltwater dominance. At 7'6", it offers extended reach and increased casting distance — perfect for targeting larger species like red drum, black drum, snook, and other aggressive inshore game fish.
Crafted from premium Japanese carbon fiber, the Tempest blends strength with incredible sensitivity, making it an ideal choice for both finesse and power applications. Its moderate-fast action ensures smooth, accurate casts and quick, dependable hooksets.
This handcrafted fishing rod features a hybrid carbon-steel guide system that reduces friction and allows for fluid line movement — giving you superior casting range, even with heavier baits. The hydrophobic grip coating ensures your handle stays dry and secure in all conditions, giving you full control no matter the weather.
As a build-your-own saltwater rod, the ZENITH Tempest allows you to select custom options for guide type, grip material, blank color, and more — making each rod a one-of-a-kind tool tailored to your fishing style.
Designed for performance, built for durability, and made to be customized — the ZENITH Tempest sets a new standard in premium inshore rods.
