Quick take
A Zebco spinning reel pre-spooled with 6-pound line, sized for panfish and light trout, with bright accents and graphite spool for easy entry.
The Zebco Stinger is a size 10 spinning reel with a graphite spool, metal gears and a ball bearing system. The handle swaps between right- and left-hand retrieve, and the 4.3:1 gear ratio brings in about 18 inches of line per turn. It comes spooled with 6 lb Zebco line and has a front drag that is easy to adjust mid-session, which suits beginners going after panfish and trout.
