Fishing Gear: Abu Garcia Zenon MG-LTX Low Profile Reel

Abu Garcia Zenon MG-LTX

Description and Application: This is Abu Garcia’s lightest, most compact low profile baitcast reel. Weighing a mere 4.5 ounces, the MG-LTX low profile reel combines the new SLC spool concept with hybrid ceramic bearings, resulting in the ultimate finesse reel that features world-class performance in a package that weighs almost nothing in the hand. This reel comes in both left- and righthanded models and in a standard 8.3:1 gear ratio.

Staff Perspective:The Zenon family of rods and reels take performance in a lightweight package to new levels—new low levels meaning the entire combo basically weighs half a pound. It’s really quite impressive to use. Thanks to a long list of engineering advancements, not only is this reel ultra-lightweight, it’s also extremely durable and that makes me confident in the investment. It’s not cheap, but you’ll love the Zenon combination so much, you’ll keep this rod and reel at bedside as long as you live.

Cost:$549.95
