Quick take

A seven-foot spincast combo with fiberglass construction built to land catfish out of their hiding spots.

This Zebco Big Cat is a ready-to-fish spincast combo with a 7-foot, two-piece medium-heavy rod and a size 80 reel. The push-button reel keeps things simple for newer anglers, and the heavier power suits catfish, walleye and bass. It comes pre-spooled with high-visibility line and has a reel handle that can be switched between right- and left-hand retrieve.

Best for

  • Beginning catfish anglers
  • Anyone learning spincast reels without the learning curve of baitcasters
  • Medium to heavy freshwater species in murky water

Skip if

  • You fish light line or finesse tactics; this is built for power
  • You want an open-face reel for distance casting

Strengths

  • Fiberglass rod construction absorbs shock from sudden strikes
  • Spincast reel has no-tangle design and quick-set anti-reverse clutch
  • Pre-spooled with hi-vis line helps detect catfish bites in stained water

Trade-offs

  • Spincast reels cast shorter distances than spinning reels of similar power
  • Fiberglass is heavier and less responsive than graphite
  • Seven feet is long for boat fishing in confined spaces
