Abu Garcia’s BRAND NEW Zenon X Spinning Reel
Eugene L. 07.11.23
Abu Garcia is back this year prepping for ICAST2023 and has announced the new Zenon X Spinning reel. This new reel builds upon the design of the original Abu Garcia Zenon spinning reel. This new model from Abu Garcia adds to the Zenon line by filling the gap of a reel capable of lightweight finesse-style fishing but at the same time something powerful enough to handle pitching heavier baits when needed. That way anglers can be better prepared and capable on the water when the day’s plans change and so does your pattern for baits.
The new Zenon X builds upon the success of the original Zenon spinning reel line and features the same efficient asymmetric aluminum frame for the body, which is combined with an oversized AMG2 machined aluminum gear system. This together delivers the perfect balance of weight, performance, and durability in the spinning reel. The reel will also feature an air fin spool for reduced weight, 9+1 bearings, and a 6.2:1 gear ratio. The Zenon X will also be available in 4 sizes starting at a 2000 up to a 3500 size reel.
“This new addition to the Zenon spinning reel lineup is a game-changer for freshwater anglers,” said Andrew Wheeler, Director of Freshwater at Abu Garcia. “The Zenon X combines lightweight design, durable construction and precision engineering to deliver a reel that excels in finesse fishing techniques while offering the versatility to handle heavier baits with ease. It’s the ultimate tool for passionate anglers seeking exceptional performance on the water.”
