Among the most feature packed rod and reel combos that Abu Garcia has ever produced, the Abu Garcia Zata Baitcasting Combos are lightweight and perfectly balanced for many bass fishing techniques. The rods are built on extremely lightweight and sensitive 24 ton graphite blanks wrapped with stainless steel guides. Fitted with a custom Winn Grip split handle that provides a comfortable grip even in wet conditions, these rods are well suited for all day casting comfort. The Zata Baitcasting Reel is built around a lightweight yet highly rigid graphite frame and sideplate, and is equipped with an ergonomically bent handle and drag star to provide a streamlined and easily palmable package. Equipped with Abu Garcia’s Carbon Matrix drag system, the Zata is capable of stopping any bass dead in its tracks with up to 20 lbs of smooth peeling drag pressure. At the Zata’s core is a Duragear brass main gear that provides a silky smooth retrieve that will stand the test of time. With a highly adjustable Infini-brake magnetic braking system, anglers can expect optimal casting performance with a wide variety of baits in all conditions. Finally, the reel’s one-of-a-kind olive drab finish with black and red accents is matched by the rod to give the combo a signature styling that any outdoorsman can appreciate.
