It is designed for static catfish fishing with rigs taken out by boat. The reel hangs below the rod for balance, and its adjustable deployment resistance helps keep line above the water in current or floating debris without finger braking.
Use the lever's marked deployment position and preset knob to set line resistance for taking the rig out. Afterwards, readjust the preset slightly if needed. During the fight, use only the lever, moving it down to increase drag pressure up to the stated maximum of 25 kg.
No, it has no automatic line guide. Watch the spool and occasionally guide the line with your index finger, especially over long distances. Zeck recommends leaving some spool space so uneven line lay during a fast fight does not overfill it.
The nominal capacity is 450 m at 0.55 mm. Zeck lists Hulk Line spool amounts of 600 m at 0.46 mm, 500 m at 0.50 mm or 400 m at 0.55 mm, with a few metres less if desired. Do not fill completely if you want room for uneven line lay or a Snag Leader.
This is the left-hand retrieve version with a 5.5:1 gear ratio and 124 cm of line retrieved per handle turn. Choose it if you want to wind with your left hand, with the stated retrieve helping bring rigs back quickly.

The HR 20 is a hanging multiplier reel developed for static catfish fishing and taking rigs out by boat. It sits below the rod like a spinning reel, keeping the weight underneath rather than requiring you to balance an overhead reel during the fight. Its dedicated deployment setting controls line tension without braking the spool or line with your fingers. This is particularly useful when keeping line above the water in strong currents or floating debris.
The drag lever and preset knob work together. The free-spool position allows completely loose line release. For boat deployment, click the lever into the position at the three marker lines, then use the preset knob to set the required resistance. You can change this resistance quickly while concentrating on steering the boat.
In the fighting range, moving the lever down increases drag pressure. Set the preset with the lever in the upper fighting range. After deployment, the preset may need a small readjustment depending on the tension used. During the fight, control the drag with the lever alone. Maximum drag is 25 kg, and the loud clicker can be switched off.
There is no automatic line guide. Zeck deliberately leaves it out to accommodate weed and pollen on the line and allow fast deployment. Watch the spool during retrieval and occasionally touch the line with your index finger to spread it evenly, particularly at long distances. The hanging arrangement keeps the line within reach without having to open your rod grip to reach it with your thumb.
The stated capacity is 450 m of 0.55 mm line. For Hulk Line, Zeck lists 600 m of 0.46 mm, 500 m of 0.50 mm or 400 m of 0.55 mm as suitable spool amounts. Use a few metres less if you want extra space. Zeck recommends not filling the reel completely, leaving room for uneven line lay during a fast fight and for adding a Snag Leader.
This left-hand retrieve model has a 5.5:1 gear ratio and retrieves 124 cm per handle turn for bringing rigs back quickly. It weighs 755 g and has a 6+2 bearing arrangement. The listed materials include aluminium and stainless steel, and the gearing is steel. The compact construction provides the stability required for catfish fishing.
For angling use only. Mechanical attachments may cause injury, and small parts may come loose and present a swallowing hazard. Keep away from children or provide appropriate supervision, and store out of reach of pets.
