The first one I ever got was a zebco..... caught many a fish with those things.

I had a pocket fisherman, that was a piece of junk.

Beautiful!  :happy1:  Don't forget the Horrocks- Ibbotson Valiant spincast, or the Shakespeare wonder reel with star drag! Both work great!  From  1960-1963.   :laugh:

Hey that's right.  Used that same line for the life of the reel.

Nah, he has always been known as the "BIG" guy to me.  But, I can relate to the crazy part.

Zebco was it for me in my younger days but I remember when my grandpa got 1 of the Shakespeares with the star drag that Reb was talking about when he retired from Hormel, man was that a nice unit. Not so sure it's not still out in the fish cleanin house :scratch:

Yup. Still have a 600 & the wife's 202 someplace. My Dad had both a 66 and a 33 like in the ad. The 66 was missing the eyelet on the front cover so it cut the line frequently. :huh:

Still have the never used 33's, and a couple of 202's laying around, in addition the that new one on the matched rod in the case. Two piece rod that breaks down and goes in a white vinyl zippered case. Didja know Zebco stands for the "Zero Hour Bomb Co., out of Tulsa? Brunswick took them over in the 70's, I think. Just didn't fudge 'em up as bad as the Harley's they took over when they were AMF/Brunswick. I used to repair a lot of 'em when I was doing reel repair. Usually the biggest prob was all the sand in 'em and lack of oiling.

Dad's 33 is mounted on an old GEP steel rod. Mom bought the rod for him as a surprise birthday present. My oldest brother told Dad when he grew up, he wanted a rod just like the one Mom was getting him for his birthday. Surprise!  :bonk:
