The NEW Zenon X Spinning Reel from Abu Garcia
Eugene L. 06.29.23
Abu Garcia has announced a new spinning reel in prep for this year’s ICAST2023, the new Zenon X Spinning Reel. This new spinning reel builds upon the bones of the original Abu Garcia Zenon spinning reels and goes beyond. The new Zenon X from Abu Garcia fills the gap in the spinning reel line by being a reel capable of lightweight finesse-style fishing but at the same time a reel powerful enough to handle pitching heavier baits when needed. That way anglers can be better prepared and capable on the water no matter what the pattern that fish hone in on for the day is.
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 reel body. That’s combined with an oversized AMG2 machined aluminum gear system for a smooth and powerful reel. This together delivers the perfect balance of weight, performance, and durability in the spinning reel. The reel also features 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.”
