The lever drag lets you lower the bait easily and adjust its depth as the bottom changes. The compact body is easy to grip around, helping keep the reel from tipping during bait control. Its multiplier design also avoids introducing line twist when fish take line against the drag, an important point with thinner vertical-fishing lines.
Right-hand means the handle is on the right, so you wind with your right hand. It does not describe the angler's dominant hand. Zeck notes that this layout generally suits left-handed anglers, so choose by your preferred winding side.
Nominal capacity is 250 m of 0.40 mm line, but Zeck recommends filling the spool to a maximum of 80% for vertical fishing so manual line laying is unnecessary. The listed suitable Hulk Line options 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. Use these product-specific options rather than treating the nominal capacity as the recommended fill.
Yes. The VR 5 has a loud clicker with an on/off switch, so you can choose whether to use its audible signal.

The Zeck Fishing VR 5 is a compact multiplier reel with an established use in sea fishing and a design suited to vertical catfish fishing from a boat. Its lever drag makes lowering the bait straightforward, helping you follow changes in bottom depth and keep the bait close to the bed.
When a fish takes line against the drag, the multiplier design avoids introducing line twist. This matters particularly with the thinner lines used for vertical fishing, where twist can weaken breaking strain. The compact body is easy to grip around, helping prevent the reel from tipping while you work the bait. A loud clicker can be switched off.
This version has its handle on the right. The international term right-hand refers to the winding side, not necessarily the angler's dominant hand. Zeck notes that this arrangement generally suits left-handed anglers. Choose it if you want to wind with your right hand.
The reel weighs 465 g and has a maximum drag of 20 kg. Its 5:1 gear ratio retrieves 87 cm per handle turn. The body is made entirely from CNC-machined aluminium, and the bearing specification is 7+2 stainless steel bearings. Nominal line capacity is 250 m of 0.40 mm line.
Zeck recommends filling the spool to no more than 80% so you do not need to guide the line across the spool during vertical fishing. The supplier lists these suitable Hulk Line spool options: 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 line options are separate from the nominal capacity specification.
For angling use only. Mechanical attachments may cause injury, and small parts may detach and present a swallowing hazard. Keep away from children or ensure appropriate supervision. Store out of reach of pets. Manufacturer: Zeck Fishing GmbH, Am Nußkopf 28, 66578 Schiffweiler, Germany. Email: info@zeck-fishing.com.
