The new Abu Garcia Zenon will be available in March 2021 and will have an MSRP of $499.95 for both the Size 20 and Size 30 versions. Both sizes of the Zenon feature a 6.2:1 gear ratio. Additional weight savings are found in the hollow, soft-touch handle knob. The magnesium body is contoured to fit comfortably in hands and provides greater weight savings and durability than the advanced plastics commonly used in other spinning reels touted as “lightweight.”įeaturing a silky-smooth drag across all settings to make the most of light-line finesse presentations, the Zenon is equipped with low-inertia, silent-rotation rotors and an ultralight hybrid spool. Combined, these design features shrink the overall footprint and weight of the reel while providing a rigid system for the gears. The Zenon body design is noticeably smaller than the spool and rotor it features a one-piece gear box with no sideplate while the frame is integrated with the stem. I believe we will see a lot of these reels on the front decks of tournament boats next year.”Īt the heart of the Zenon’s weight-saving design and striking looks is the elimination of empty spaces commonly found in spinning reels. Our reel designers minimized the weight of the reel to a point few thought possible while making sure the reel retains its Abu Garcia durability. “With the smoothness of the drag, you can fish light line with confidence and do so comfortably because the reel is so light and easy to hold. “The Zenon sets the bar for future spinning reels in terms of weight, comfort and overall performance in finesse fishing applications,” said Abu Garcia Vice President of Marketing Jon Schlosser.
Abu Garcia engineers worked with their Japanese design team to build the ultimate finesse-style spinning reel that would succeed in the sophisticated finesse-specific Japanese market and find a strong foothold in the competitive U.S. Zenon was developed for those who desire the very best to complement their skills, regardless of whether anglers are fishing for fun or for a paycheck. Paired with a light spinning rod, the result is a configuration that brings unparalleled sensitivity and all-day comfort to serious anglers. Designed to give serious bass and walleye anglers the advantages they need to propel them to fish to win, the Zenon is the lightest spinning reel ever produced, tipping the scales at an unbelievably light 4.9 ounces for the Size 20 and 5.4 ounces for the Size 30. Abu Garcia’s new Zenon spinning reel is poised to reset the standards by which all ultra-premium fishing reels are judged.
