- It is a lure-fishing setup rather than a coarse feeder kit.
Product Information
For a first lure-fishing setup, the Zebco 2.7m Predator Combo 50g 3000 FD gives anglers a rod, reel and braid package without building the outfit piece by piece. It suits canals, drains, rivers and stillwaters where light to medium predator lures are the plan.
The 2.7m two-piece spinning rod is rated 20-50g and has a fast action. That gives useful casting range from the bank while staying manageable for repeated casts with spinners, spoons, soft lures and simple lure rigs.
The supplied Target Fish 3000 front-drag reel has 3+1 ball bearings, an aluminium spool and handle, thick bail and rubber knob. It comes loaded with grey four-strand braid, with a 5.1:1 gear ratio, 0.18mm/180m line capacity, 4.5kg max drag and 760mm retrieve per turn.
This is a starter combo, so it should not be judged against specialist lure rods or heavy pike setups. It is better for getting into predator fishing with a coherent basic outfit. Its strongest fit is light to medium lure fishing where the angler wants rod, reel and braid matched from the start. Venue, lure weight and leader choice matter more than price alone, because heavy pike work needs stronger tackle.
Before fishing, check the braid, drag and leader choice, especially if toothy predators or snaggy banks are likely on the venue.
