DEFI MUTHOS SONIO TYPE-R

Perfection, shaped.

The renowned rod MUTHOS Sonio, refined through the hands of countless anglers since its release, has now evolved even further — into the new flagship model, MUTHOS Sonio Type R.

Sonio Type R Feature

Feature.01

Hexagon reel seat

Newly developed ZENAQ original reel seat (PAT.P)

The high strength, long fiber carbon of Toray Industry's TORAYCA® is composited with a special molding machine to form a sturdy framework. Even large reels will be held firmly without wobbling.

The surface of the framework is covered with a special rubber to create a new feeling of comfort in the hands. Rod action is easy with no need for unnecessary force.

Like the hexagon grip, the reel seat is also hexagon shaped to suppress left and right reel rattling, and transmit power without loss. This can conserve hand strength, which is the first to wear out, and increase the probability of catching a big fish.

A rubber cushion has been devised for the area where the reel foot rests. This prevents the reel from loosening even if it's not strongly tightened, and prevents the reel from rattling even in hard fishing. Rod and reel are perfectly integrated.

<< About reels that can be used >> The Hexagon reel seat can be used with the current models made by Daiwa and Shimano.
We have not tested the operation of foreign brand reels, so we cannot guarantee that the reel seat or reel will be damaged. (This is due to the size and shape of the reel foot.)
Also, even with Daiwa and Shimano reels, if the reel foot is not firmly inserted, the reel seat and reel foot may be damaged.

Feature.02

New RG Guide Setting

The optimal configuration for the Sonio blank.

A newly refined guide layout, redesigned from the ground up to achieve perfect synergy with the MUTHOS Sonio blank action.
The butt guide features a T-RVSG20H; its small-diameter ring instantly suppresses line loops, while the narrow multi-guide layout minimizes line flutter throughout the cast.
Meticulous attention has been paid to the total number and spacing of guides, enhancing tip-section response and enabling tighter, more precise lure control.

Feature.03

Hexagon Grip

Reduces burden on anglers drastically

The irregular hexagonal front grip allows for secure yet easy lure manipulation, fighting, and use of the rod.
ZENAQ's original grips are now indispensable for big game.

Feature.04

Refined Name Design

Presence that stands out in every moment.

The name section has been completely redesigned.
A simple yet bold “MUTHOS” logo is placed on the upper side of the rod—positioned naturally within the angler’s line of sight.
A new design created to stand beside anglers in the field.

Feature.05

Type R Original Metal Ring

Symbol of the Type R

Symbolic Type R original metal parts with the engraved Type R logo.

Feature.06

Grip End

Rubber cork grip for smooth handling.

Designed for effortless handling and a perfect balance with the Sonio’s light, responsive action.
The metal rear ring provides a stable, well-balanced feel from casting to lure action.
