Quick take
A 5 ft 6 inch two-piece casting rod with Z-Glass construction, suited for light to medium species and lures between 1/8 and 1/4 oz.
The Zebco Z-Cast is a 5-foot 6-inch two-piece casting rod with a medium-light fiberglass blank and a pistol-grip EVA handle. It is matched to 6-10 lb line and 1/8-1/4 oz lures, which suits panfish, trout, walleye and bass. A Twist-Lock reel seat and shock-ring guides keep the setup simple for newer anglers.
