Appears to be /very/ like the Japan market Roxani 7, cheaper but with some added bearings. Most of the extra bearings are in the gearbox where they're a bit superfluous but the number count attracts customers. The important bearings are on the spool, the one-way roller, and the handle shaft. The Zata is carbon frame, the Roxani is Durametal aluminium alloy.
@@Blackhawk556. Depends what you want, the Roxani is a range of Japan market reels with solid metal chassis albeit less bearings. I have the Roxani BF8 which can cast light and the Revo4 SX which can cast further, and like the Zata is dual brake. I have gone through several cheap reels but for example my ancient 6500CS Mag is still in very good order.
Yeah they definitely look like some good rods. Their blackout rods just based on the blank is ridiculous sensitive. Would definitely love to get some of those but they're so expensive
I have the same reel (left hand version) and it’s starting to feel a little off . Whenever I reel it in , it feels/sounds like something is grinding . Don’t know what it is . Any idea ?
Its similar to roxani powershooter I own, great reel.. only 1 things to complain is that I almost lost the sideplate once because I accidentally push the lock with my glove..
You can buy the combo and get the reel with the rod that has same color paint job as the reel. Looks sick! Reminds me of something from the mobile game War Robots. 😂
Lol I didnt even know there was a rod that went with this reel when I got it🤷♂️ And I agree, I always see those phone app war games ads all over and the paintjob reminds me of them 😂
I guess I shouldve looked online for the rod when I ordered the reel, honestly did not know they made a rod for it as well until a few people commented it on my videos haha
Hey bud first time watching the channel big Daiwa and Abu guy here Savage gear makes a battle stick I think it's a 7 foot 11 inch frog rod that's olive drab or matte green nice review buddy
Thanks for watching man! And oof that's a little too big for my liking. Tops I'm comfortable with using is a 7'4. I had a 7'6 at one point put it felt too big and blocky for me
@@guywithagoprofishingshow3011 Its all good 13 fishing just came out with an all black rod, I got a medium action to pair with this reel and I'm going to use it for senkos/soft plastics. Nothing matches better than straight black lol
@@guywithagoprofishingshow3011 I've definitely thought of making my own plenty of times but I honestly dont have the time too haha, and my bank account probably wouldnt like how picky and creative I could get 😂
3:44 yes that’s real carbon fiber 😂🕺🏽it’s so fucking clean I love this reel it’s my favorite out of all my baitcasters and btw can you lmk which cleaner and lubricant you use for your reels and how often you clean them ?
Honestly I would say it is my favorite as well. I know a lot of people hate on quantum hot sauce oil and grease but that is what I use. I have an insane amount of reels.. (currently 9 baitcasters sit on my shelf for display to give you a reference lol) and I get people who send me their reels as well. Ive tried a few different brands of oil and grease and quantum without a doubt beats them. I try to do it once a year at the end of the season.
ABU is actually market leading here, their Resin/Graphite is harder and lighter than the ci4+ of Shimano and the Zaion of Daiwa. You get Brass gears and 10 good ballbearings and a drag that's a good deal stronger than the competition.
@@JuvoII Well said, definitely the more technical version of my answer haha. And after owning just about every brand including two steez and a Metanium, the bearings in Abu are something else. I've had the zata for a few months now and the bearings are still flawless. Regardless of what these big companies start making reels out of in the future we can always presume its better than the previous generations and so far its been true
A plastic frame is a plastic frame and on a $150+ reel? For only $100 you get an aluminum frame from daiwa, shimano and lew's to name a few. And the marketing with 20lb drag doesn't make sense because it's on a plastic frame.... Think you're drinking the Abu kool-aid.
@@andrescruz9448 If you're unaware the premium lineup in spinners shimano and Daiwa are all what you call "plastic". The Boeing Dreamliner and the Airbus A350 are plastic planes!
They're made in Malaysia or North Korea. They're not Swedish and they're not Swedish engineered either. They're Doyo. Often times (most of the time) Doyo has an equivalent reel for sale directly from their factory. Abu Garcia simply changes the cosmetics, slaps their branding on it and calls it something different. Sorry to shit on all of you Abu fanboys but it's true!
Hi do you review a reels and your not even not the way the brack system works out put is more brakes I have all my reels wuith internal brakes and aupt brakes abue garcia the new seta look nyse

Made in Korea and Japan reels are some my favorite for overall quality control.
Thanks I really been looking forward to this reel nice review!
No problem, thanks for watching

Do you think this reel is worth $127??? Can I get something better for this price? That’s what I paid last night for this reel?

You could put it on a cork rod. I recommend the st Croix mojo bass or st croix bass x
The zata rod thats made for this caster is impressive as well. I held the combo in hand and I'm almost convinced to go ahead and pick it up.
*Showed up in perfect condition Very satisfied. Great rod, caught a fish my very first cast with it. Also has very good action.*
Savage Gear Battletek Rods! I just ordered 3, hope they will arrive soon.
Yeah they definitely look like some good rods. Their blackout rods just based on the blank is ridiculous sensitive. Would definitely love to get some of those but they're so expensive
I might put this on a kvd rod
8:50 am. Can these reels be use in saltwater
It kinda reminds me of the bass pro shop pro qualifier
does it have anti-reverse protection ?
I have the same reel (left hand version) and it’s starting to feel a little off . Whenever I reel it in , it feels/sounds like something is grinding . Don’t know what it is . Any idea ?
Will this one work for deep diver crankbait?
Its similar to roxani powershooter I own, great reel.. only 1 things to complain is that I almost lost the sideplate once because I accidentally push the lock with my glove..
Aw that sucks, it's definitely the only downside of having the lever versus say the screw down side plate daiwa uses

Pick you up the Abu Garcia Zata rod. It will pair perfectly with the reel.
I guess I shouldve looked online for the rod when I ordered the reel, honestly did not know they made a rod for it as well until a few people commented it on my videos haha
Look at the battletek fishing rods by savage gear...pricey rods but the green/tan would look sick with that reel
Good review 🤙🏼

No doubt bub..only olive drab rod I could think of.maybe custom time?Or some Mudhole action & make your own?

heck yeah man.olive drab is my fav color.shes a purdy reel.& at that speed and 20lbs of drag,youre all good inda hood,bubba..
Nice video
Thanks
Is the reel seat metal ?
Nope, the reel seat is the same material as the sideplates/frame which is graphite.
@@BassFishingAddictions Ohh ok. Thanks 👍
Two on two off internalbracks and number 5 out zede bracket

$170 for a plastic/graphite frame?
Pretty much, but its honestly one of my favorite reels so far. Would definitely buy it again

I wish abu garcia made this aluminum

Often times (most of the time) Doyo has an equivalent reel for sale directly from their factory. Abu Garcia simply changes the cosmetics, slaps their branding on it and calls it something different. Sorry to shit on all of you Abu fanboys but it's true!
Also the Doyo equivalent reels are usually less than a third of the cost. You're literally paying for branding.
And pouring syrup on Sh*t don't make it pancakes. Yeah, I get it! :)
How much
You can find them for around $130 which is definitely worth it.
For me that reel abig Wawww.
Hi do you review a reels and your not even not the way the brack system works out put is more brakes I have all my reels wuith internal brakes and aupt brakes abue garcia the new seta look nyse
For that price no xcraftix frame.... Nope
Abu garcia itu asli produk negara mana ,,yg di indonesia yg beredar dipasaran adalah produk china.
Asli dari sweden..
Knpa yg beredar di indonesia produk china,apakah gk ada distributor dri swedan ke indonesia ini,produk cina ini tdak trjamin kualitasnya
