Toman / Giant Snakehead Casting Rod
GentayuGTC-66-MH
“Fear No Beast. Gentle to the Angler, Lethal to the Giant.”
An accessible serious Toman rod. Proto-Z's heavy-cover answer for Malaysian Toman waters — phoenix energy, certified strength, real anglers' weapon of choice.
Why this rod
Key Highlights
Gentayu is not a cheap NagaFury. It is Proto-Z's commitment to bringing the same Toman-fighting discipline to more anglers — without compromise on the parts of the rod where compromise costs you the fish.
- 01
Triple-carbon construction — Torayca T1100G + T40 layered with Proto-Z's proprietary SGF.
- 02
Certified to a 25 kg sustained pull at 60° — the Gentayu C661MH-B sample broke past 20 kg without failure.
- 03
Built for the moment a Toman dives into cover — heavy mid-butt power, control before reaction.
