It is a compact multiplier reel for vertical catfish fishing from a boat. The lever drag lets you lower the lure easily and adjust its depth over uneven ground, so you can keep it near the bottom.
Yes, if you prefer to hold the rod in your right hand and wind with your left. This version has its handle on the left, so left-hand refers to the winding hand rather than the angler's dominant hand.
Full capacity is rated at 250 m of 0.40 mm line, but Zeck recommends a maximum 80% fill for vertical fishing so you do not need to lay the line manually. Suitable Hulk Line spools are 210 m at 0.33 mm, 190 m at 0.36 mm, 170 m at 0.40 mm or 160 m at 0.43 mm.
It avoids line twist when a fish takes line against the drag. Twist can weaken the thinner lines commonly used for vertical catfish fishing, so this design avoids that source of strength loss during repeated fights.
Yes. The VR 5 has an on/off switch for its loud clicker, so you can choose whether to use the audible signal.

The Zeck Fishing VR 5 is a compact multiplier reel for vertical catfish fishing from a boat. Its lever drag makes it easy to lower the lure and adjust its depth over uneven ground, keeping it close to the bottom. The design has also been used in sea fishing for several years.
When a fish takes line against the drag, the multiplier design avoids the line twist associated with a spinning reel. This matters with the thinner lines commonly used for vertical fishing, as twist can weaken their breaking strength. The compact body is easy to wrap your hand around, helping prevent the reel from tipping while you work the lure.
This version has its handle on the left. The term left-hand model describes the winding hand, not the angler's dominant hand. It suits right-handed anglers who prefer to hold the rod in their right hand and wind with their left.
The body is made entirely from CNC-machined aluminium. The reel weighs 465 g and has 7+2 stainless steel bearings, a 5:1 gear ratio and a stated retrieve of 87 cm per handle turn. Maximum drag is 20 kg. A loud clicker can be switched on or off.
The stated line capacity is 250 m of 0.40 mm line. For vertical fishing, Zeck recommends filling the spool to no more than 80%. At this fill level, the supplier states that you do not need to lay the line manually during vertical fishing.
Zeck lists the following suitable Hulk Line spools: 210 m at 0.33 mm, 190 m at 0.36 mm, 170 m at 0.40 mm and 160 m at 0.43 mm. These are the recommended Hulk Line spool options, not the reel's full-capacity rating.
For angling use only. Mechanical parts may cause injury and small parts may come loose and pose a choking hazard. Keep away from children or provide appropriate supervision, and store out of reach of pets.
