Quick take
A Zebco heavy-duty spinning combo specifically designed to haul catfish and larger species from the water.
This Zebco Big Cat is a spinning rod and reel combo built around a 7-foot, two-piece medium-heavy rod with a moderate-fast action. It pairs a fiberglass blank with a size 60 reel that has a 5.0:1 gear ratio, 16 pounds of max drag and a changeable retrieve side. The reel comes spooled with 25-pound high-visibility line, so it suits catfish and other bigger freshwater fish like walleye, bass and striper.
