Zebco 808 Spincast Fishing Reel

Tough, durable and dependable. The 808 is fishing‘s most popular large spincast reel, featuring a hardy anti-reverse system and a push-button that‘s anchored to the body of the reel for a much more solid feel.

Easy & Super Heavy-Duty

Ceramic Pick-up Pin

The ceramic outlasts other materials used for pick-up pins because ceramic is resistant to abrasion from high wear and reduces friction within the reel. A softer material has the potential to develop a groove in the pin, which cuts the line.

Built-in Bite Alert

Built-in Bite Alert technology lets you know a fish is on the line using audio and visual indicators to alert anglers of activity below the water. Bite Alert can be switched on or off and the sensitivity can also be adjusted to match fishing conditions.

Dial-Adjustable Magnum Drag

Built with more power than the original dial-adjustable drag, the dial-adjustable magnum drag has even more power to hang onto even the strongest fish. The higher the drag, the harder it is for line to exit the reel. The lower the drag, the easier it is for line to exit the reel.

• 7 bearing System - corrosion resistant stainless steel ball bearings
• Graphite body and rotor - lightweight graphite reel construction.Braid ready spool - allows Braid to be tied directly to spool
• Sealed Drag System - Sealed drag washers, always lubricated, always smooth.Slow oscillation gearing - improves line lay and minimizes line twist
• The “B” at the end of the model number represents the type of packaging (B= Claim, X= Box) and does not affect any of the specifications of the product.

Product description

The new Sedona FI is the first in SHIMANO’s lower end price point models to include cold forged HAGANE Gears.

Additionally, weight has been reduced significantly across all sizes to reduce fatigue during long days of casting or jigging. From an angling perspective, every individual who has owned and enjoyed using SHIMANO tackle has a reason to thank a Japanese visionary named Shozaburo SHIMANO, who in 1921 declared “I aim to make SHIMANO’s products the best in Kansai, then the best in Japan, and finally the best in the world."" For over 80 years, SHIMANO has concentrated on precision engineering, one step at a time. Creating the most innovative products and processes you can hold in your hand today.
