Abu Garcia Zenon® Core Baitcaster – Right Hand

The Abu Garcia Zenon® Core delivers flagship performance with unmatched ergonomics, precision engineering, and saltwater-ready durability. Built around a tough yet lightweight Durametal aluminum frame and C6 carbon side plates, the Zenon Core combines strength, rigidity, and reduced weight for a truly elite casting and cranking experience.

Equipped with Zenon’s core technologies—including the advanced Pinion Support Structure, Magtrax III braking system, and large-diameter ultra-duralumin drive gear—the Zenon Core offers incredibly smooth rotation, improved casting efficiency, and superior power transmission under load.

Designed for versatility, this model balances finesse performance with strength, making it ideal for freshwater bass, shallow-water techniques, and saltwater bait finesse (SW) applications. With a 32mm spool, precision-tuned gearing, and excellent line capacity, the Zenon Core is built for anglers demanding ultra-premium performance in every cast.
