Quick take
This Zebco Slingshot is a red 5-foot 6-inch, two-piece fiberglass spinning combo with a medium-light rod and a size 20 reel. The reel has metal gears, a 5.3:1 ratio and a dial-adjustable drag, and the combo comes spooled with 8-pound monofilament. An EVA handle and a ready-to-fish setup make it a simple starting point for panfish, trout and bass.
