Zeck SR 5 Reel

Zeck SR 5 Reel

The SR 5 reels are designed both for vertical catfish fishing and heavy spinning, as well as for saltwater fishing. They were developed after approximately two years of intense testing across Europe and in the harshest conditions at sea and ocean. This extensive testing period ensured absolute certainty that reels of exceptional quality would be launched to the market, upholding the standards that the German manufacturer ZECK is already known for.

This reel series was created to withstand various environmental conditions, including high salinity scenarios. It was equipped with the latest materials and technologies, housed in a rigid body made entirely of aluminum, making the entire setup extremely durable. These are the first classic-shaped reels offered by ZECK to those who love this style of fishing. Through the SR 5, the market received a model that significantly stands out from competitors in terms of quality and performance relative to the price, which should be of great interest to anglers.

The size and weight of only 480gr is ideal for vertical catfish fishing with short rods up to 250gr power, as well as for heavy spinning with longer rods. The spool design facilitates long-distance casts with heavy lures when targeting catfish, pike, or even more atypical species found in ocean or sea waters.

The reel is equipped with 7 sealed bearings, which will successfully endure salty environments. The technology used in manufacturing this reel allows for retrieving a larger length of line per crank turn—specifically 104cm—with a retrieval ratio of 5.6:1. It ensures an even line lay and smooth line release. The front micrometric Multi-Disk carbon drag system is very precise, providing a maximum drag force of 11kg. This progressive drag system allows you to customize adjustments for specific conditions and target species or to adjust drag during prolonged fights. This strong resistance is housed under an anodized aluminum spool with a matte finish that can hold up to 190m of 0.36mm braided line. The manual pickup release function prevents accidental closure during casting, and the oversized EVA-coated handle knob is very comfortable, attached to a CNC-machined aluminum handle with a screw-in grip, which is very useful during long fights. During testing, the SR 5 convinced not only in catfish fishing but also in saltwater and ocean fishing, handling with ease numerous fights with huge, extremely powerful species.

In short, if you are a fan of vertical catfish fishing, heavy spinning, or saltwater fishing, this reel will definitely be one of your favorites. The matte black design combined with silver finish details gives the reel a modern look. If you are looking for a very durable, high-performance reel at a fair price, the ZECK SR 5 is the reel you need; it will pleasantly impress anglers, offering excellent value for money.
