A nice combo, I hope!

As I’ve searched and searched for a reel that would pair nicely on my recent purchased Xesta and Abu G Eradicator rods I’ve finally come to term that it’s impossible for me to part with money the new Abu Zenon reel is commanding at the moment. After seeing it in the flesh posted by a CDC member, Crappie Pro, I’ve finally decided to settle on this Abu G. Revo MGXtreme 2000s first generation flagship spinner. The latest version with 12 ball bearings had won Tackle Tour Editor’s choice award, so how bad can it be? It sure look the part though on either of the 2 rods. Cheers!

Congrats on the new combo. Hope it works well for you.

Now that is a sharp looking reel….is that the 6.10 Xesta I can’t remember who said they ordered it. I waited to late, should know better.

It’s a beautiful looking reel. Please report back after getting some seat time. Congrats!

Yeah, I'd be happy with that reel any day, very sharp !

Great looking rig, I’m patiently waiting to hear more.

Congrats, would like to hear your thoughts on it.

Very nice looking setup.

That looks sharp! Congratulations on the pair.

Sweet. Looking forward to hearing your field reports. Been looking at the Zenon, but haven't pulled the trigger.

StM2567, no this is the 4-10 model. I kind of wanting to try something in this length now that i already have a Tict 6-9.

The JDM zenon reels are about $270 on amazon jp or digitaka and free shipping/no tax which is 1/2 what the USA market is?

Cimalmoto, thanks for sharing! The Abu is no doubt a special reel if not the lightest spinning reel out there, but I’ve already allocated my fund to a second hand MGXtreme and recently a mint condition Shimano Stella, a reel I believe will serve me better for the fishing I do: saltwater and freshwater ultralight multi-specie.

BC, it fishes great as well! Don’t let those needle-sized tip on these JDM ultralight rods mislead one to think it’s slow. In fact the opposite is true, the Xesta is my fastest and stiffest rod in my little arsenal of ultralight. It only bends while casting lures or when fish on. Cheers!
