Overview
Zebco builds the 808 as a spincast reel with a retrieve side that can be switched between right and left hand. Anti-reverse is listed, the body material is a blend, and the finish is black.
A changeable retrieve side means one reel serves right and left handed anglers. The listing offers a drag figure and a gear ratio but only a coded line capacity, so spool size is left for the buyer to confirm.
Who it's for
Casual fishing on monofilament line is the situation, with either hand doing the cranking. Anglers using any other line type should read the specs closely, because only monofilament is listed and the capacity is just a code.
Pros and cons
- Retrieve hand can be changed
- Anti-reverse feature listed
- Spincast style for monofilament
- Warranty period stated
- Line capacity shown only as code
- Body material listed only as blend
- Hand orientation varies by model
Performance notes
Gear ratio sets how much line the spool gathers per turn of the handle, and a lower figure favors steady, easy cranking. The drag slips under load to protect the line, and the listed maximum is the ceiling of that resistance. Anti-reverse stops the handle from backing off while a fish pulls.
