ABU GARCIA Zenon MG 7

A lightweight 135g bass versatile model. The asymmetrical ergonomic design with a low inertia lightweight 30mm diameter spool provides optimal palming and clutch operability. This one unit fully covers shooting lightweight lures and medium-heavy reeling.
Lightweight feather metal frame, super free spool bearing, 30mm diameter 12lb-100m spool, MAGTRAX III brake, high gear 7.5:1, 85mm Dura carbon handle, hollow handle knob, etc., all specifications are suitable for bass fishing.

Ergonomic Design
ZENON's reel body is designed with an ergonomic design. In general bait casting reels, it was common sense to make the rear end positions of the left and right side plates the same. In ZENON, only the rear end of the palming side plate is moved forward. The clutch bar is designed asymmetrically to prevent accidental "pushing" due to palm interference when palming. As a result, palming and clutch operability have been dramatically improved.

Pinion support structure
The powerful winding of the handle is transmitted in the order of drive gear → pinion gear → spool. Even slight distortion in each part in this rotation transmission will have a negative effect on the rotation. The pinion support structure reliably supports the outer part of the pinion gear with the crank side plate via a ball bearing. This structure achieves highly efficient winding and a significant improvement in gear feel. Furthermore, when casting, optimal spool free and castability are achieved by maintaining a constant appropriate clearance between the inner surface of the pinion gear and the rotating spool shaft.

Large diameter drive gear
The ZENON series is not just about making it smaller and lighter, but also focusing on improving the durability of the gear to make fishing more comfortable. The ZENON is equipped with a large diameter drive gear. The MG7 and LTX are made of lightweight, high-strength ultra-super duralumin. In addition, the synergistic effect with the pinion support structure has resulted in a highly efficient, light and comfortable winding and an approximately 20% increase in the durability of the gearing.

Lightweight Feather Metal Frame
The magnesium alloy Feather Metal frame is highly precise and contributes greatly to the lightweight design without sacrificing strength.

C6 Carbon Side Plates
C6 Carbon material is an engineering plastic reinforced with Abu Garcia's proprietary carbon fiber, and its rigidity is comparable to that of magnesium. The use of this material has achieved significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength and durability.

Ultra-lightweight φ30mm versatile spool made of super duralumin
The newly designed 30mm diameter spool uses the latest analytical technology and super duralumin material to achieve a thorough thin-walled design without sacrificing strength. In addition, the spool shaft is also made of super duralumin to achieve weight reduction. The simple MAGTRAX III brake system and the Super Free HPCR spool BB combine to achieve a synergistic effect, achieving a whole new level of performance in terms of low trajectory pitching of lightweight rigs, casting feel and casting distance of medium-weight big baits.

Carbon Matrix Single Drag
Abu Garcia's proprietary carbon matrix drag washer allows for higher drag force while maintaining smooth performance over a wide range.

MAGTRAX III Brake
Abu Garcia's MAGTRAX III brake has a reliable and simple structure. The simple structure can reliably prevent backlash. You can also adjust the number of internal magnets to suit your casting skills. Its characteristic is that the brake works reliably from the moment the lure is released during casting, so backlash can be reliably prevented even when using lures with high air resistance in headwinds. It also makes it possible to aim at a pinpoint when pitching a lightweight rig or casting a short distance. The MG7 and LTX models are set to 8 magnets by default.

85mm Crank Dura Carbon Handle & Star Drag
The handle arm is made of laminated highly elastic carbon material, which makes it strong, lightweight and improves sensitivity. The length is a crank type of 85mm, taking into consideration all-round use and retrieval with the wrist. The star wheel, like the handle arm, is also made of carbon, which greatly contributes to weight reduction.

Cam lock lever
The cam lock lever for opening the palm side plate is located at the bottom of the side plate. When the cam lock lever is in the "open" position, the claw of the lever protrudes, preventing you from forgetting to tighten the lever.

Recessed reel foot
Abu Garcia's recessed reel foot allows the spool to be placed as close to the bottom of the reel as possible, resulting in an optimal low profile.

Aluminum front plate
The machine-cut aluminum front plate has a compact shape that provides protection for the level wind and prevents line tangles. It also minimizes damage to the reel if it is accidentally dropped to the ground.
