Abu Garcia Zata - Very Meh when compared to the Shimano SLx DC and Daiwa Tatula 100

Lews & Abu same breaking system , Duckett, Okuma same internal breaking dial. H2O xpress ethos bait caster all aluminum 6.6oz has a different looking break system and they are affordable. Would you be able to review that reel with a break down. Thank you

The Abu garcia reels does NOT say "Swedish engineering". It says "By appointment to H.M. the king of sweden". What that means is that abu is a court supplier to the Swedish royal family. Their products are being used by the Swedish king, and that's why they are allowed to use that crest and phrase on their products.

Use mine for frogging and love it. $150 on amazon.

I love the Daiwa Tatula 100. I have 4 o those and an elite. They are so much better then what Lew’s and abu put out and they are both made by doyo.

Anyone in between huh

So your gay!

The last “real” abu reel was the spinning suveran launched in 90s. Everything after that is just Pure Fishing shitting on us. Its either a recycled china crap (worst imaginable) or relaunched classic (so-so) now.

Which reels are the best from greatest to worst

Abu Zata really? ...wasn't that an awful candy thing we ate as kids? who names this shit?

I’m willing to bet Lews and Abu are made in the same Chinese factory.

Can you do a ZATA spinning ?? What are the price comparison from the reels you are comparing it to?

The vowel A makes the A say its name

Bru that’s also a salt water reel
It’s also graphite

Lmfao soyougayilang

I am the exact same way with being a diawa and shimano guy I recently purchased the tatula 100h because i couldnt find a shimano slx dc in bass pro shop when i was there and the very next day they were in stock and i ended up driving the 2 hours again just to get it so now i have both and they are all i use now i have even sold off my other baitcasters such as my lews and my 13f inception because once i went to shimano and diawa i couldnt go back normally when im saltwater fishing ill use a diawa or a shimano like the nasci 5000 and the diawa baitrunner do yoy have any other cheaper shimano or diawa baitcaster recommendations to expand my collection

Can you do a review on the Abu maxpro baitcast reel

I can’t stand the worm gear hitting your finger when palming Revos but I do love the Black Max gen 3 ( excellent palming)

Lews frame is way easier to palm!!!

20 lb drag on a graphite frame lmao

You subscriber here dig your style definitely like the humorous bits... It would be nice though if you could be exactly specific why you choose one real over the others your vague description of superior versus inferior design like I said is humorous but for a nerd like me I like the hard facts but if that saves you grief and lawsuits I completely understand send it brother!
Aloha from the Great Lakes

So your saying it's over built which is a negative?

I bought 3 Shimano SLX reels brand new
off Ebay and they constantly backlash, even with all brakes on. I've read they are factory rejects, hence the cheaper price. Abu Garcia on the other hand, I love the Revo x, best real ever. One big flaw, the side plates flew off for no reason and went in the lake. Any suggestions?

No more Lew's and abu's for me

What line is that on the Zata?

buddy your comparing a 140$ reel to 250-350$ reels that doesn't make any sense. and by the way you do sound very gay

i wish I could afford to throw reels around like that

Dont get the gripes with graphite. Never had a problem with it

Correct me if I’m wrong… but the frame is graphite, not plastic

Only problem I have with Abu is the worm gear screw in the way when I palm it. Deal Breaker ! 🤷🏾‍♂️

I have a Lew's Mach pro combo. The roxani combo that Abu makes and I also have a Shimano chronarch on a st.croix victory rod. The chronarch is about 270$ compared to the zata/roxani and mach's for 150$ but it's definitely in the framing. The chronarch for an extra 100$ I don't think I'd purches if it didn't have an aluminum frame. The roxani/zata and Lew's combos cast almost as good and feel almost as smooth. The issue I have is when I hook a bass or accidentally hook a musky I can 100% feel weakspots in my frames on both Lew's and Abu

So-u-gayaling Lol oh shit I’m Dying..!!!! Lol it’s a Sea of Ridiculous so I keep buying second hand “tried and true” Reels from the EBay I know have a track record of WORKING.!! The older Orra sx, the Accurist PT and Code Red from Quantum are amazing Reels. Truly enjoy the Videos my friend Semper Fidelis and I still use my old Abu Ambassadeur 5500 Pro Max and it’s great after 30 years.

Damn anything at 100 bucks should have an Aluminum Frame I would think. I do have a Caius and like it quite a bit but it was 34 bucks new without a box on the EBay.

Love the look of the ZATA just wish it was better quality

The problem with Daiwa and shimano seem to be limited left hand retrieves, shimano does but it seems in a 8.2 1 ratio!

First off thank you for making this great video. I have a few questions.
1. What are your thoughts on the Veritas reel?
2. Shimano Slx dc what is the difference between the 6.3.1, the 7.2.1, and 8.2.1?

I just bought the Abu Garcia Black max (To be clear I don’t Ming spending money of high quality equipment) however unlike hunting fish is all new to me. The Black max I got at Walmart on hidden sale for $30. Great deal but I appreciate craftsmanship and starting out in the fishing sport I don’t want to dish xxxx money on something just to fish in fresh water ponds, creeks, rivers. I want to upgrade but for the I’m fish I’d like to get something very nice with out over doing it like overkill. Can you please help.

I fish salmon so there's 100% no chance I would buy the diawa or the shimano with their pathetic 11 and 12 pound drag I'll take the 20 pound drag of the zata

Great video !!!

What's the comfort casting weights with this reel?

Abue garcia revo sx is one of the best reel you can bait

Big fish are slow I find the higher retrieve ratios too high. I find myself going too fast use your thumb drags never been right on baitcasters. Damm it’s 50 lb braid w 12-20 leader shit it’s a little winch

$75? I’ll take it?

So why the fuck are you reviewing it like we don’t want to hear all about your preferences we were looking for a review shesshh …

Is this the Boba Fett reel...?

Dude seeing all those broke down reels and scattered parts causes extreme anxiety haha, please make more videos bro

Im glad i didnt pay full price for the zata bait caster. I actually got it today on sale from bass pro for 149.99.

I do have the spinning reel zata and i love it.

Why do people get so obsessed with retrieve gear ratio's and drag force. Learn to use your thumb and crank faster or slower. And the Zata is not plastic, it's graphite.

Now that was a review. Subbed.

Can you use it for ocean fishing ?

So u gay? I Lang 🤣
