Full details
The Korum Zelos Distance 6000 is a specialized power distance feeder reel tailored for specimen anglers who target large fish in both fast-flowing rivers and expansive stillwaters.

Featuring a powerful worm shaft system and a high-speed retrieve, this reel is built to handle the rigors of heavy-duty specimen fishing with ease.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, spool the reel carefully, ensuring the line is wound under proper tension to maximize the efficiency of the worm shaft system. The reel is compatible with a wide range of medium-to-heavy feeder rods, particularly those designed for longer casting distances. Maintenance is straightforward: after every session, wipe the external body with a damp cloth to remove grit or debris. Avoid submerging the reel in water, as this can degrade the internal lubricant. Periodically check the casting clips to ensure they remain smooth and line-friendly, and ensure the handle is tightened securely before every outing.
